I had to go with La Escopeta first
X 2nd
and Marvi 3rd.
i voted hagler, although ray lennard was better than all three ;)
Got to be HAgler for me, the guy beat the top guys
Leonard (yes he did)
Hearns
Duran
Thats just too close to call for me. I really aint got a clue who to chose becuase they all achieved so much! And all 3 where AMAZING boxers. Ill get back to you on this one!
Not as a middleweight he wasn't ;)Quote:

Would love to have seen BHOP fight Duran Hagler Hearns Leonard Mugabi etc etc - we would have a much better idea just how could he was (or wasn't)
1) Carlos - 2) Hagler - 3) Others :box3:
Little off topic: what do you think about Mariano Carrera? New WBA Champion... is Sturm gonna kill him?
B-HOP got a boxing lesson from RJJ when he was in his prime. Monzon didn't defend againt the quality of oppositiion that Hagler did.
Bernard was pre prime then ;)Quote:
