Not at all, I personally think it's a better fight than Hagler Hearns.. () Yeah, I really do. For one thing, Hagler Hearns was barely even competitive in comparison to this fight.. Yeah it was an amazing fight, insane tempo and both guys came to KO the other guy... But Hagler was never seriously hurt, other than being partially stunned for a couple of seconds in the first round. Hearns was landing hellacious punches but they still couldn't hurt Hagler, wheras anything MArvin landed clearly hurt thommy. Even though it was such a great fight, you could sort of sense what way it was going after the first round. With Castillo vs Corrales there was so much more ebb and flow, both guys were hurt multiple times, the fight went on much longer, there was contraversy, each fighter adapted at certain points, it went 10 rounds, and noone was in serious control for any length of time, it could have gone either way the whole time. I think it is clearly a better fight. Just my opinion though.
Totally agree my man,CC. Imagine a third fight at 147!! I'd LOVE to see that! I think I have seen the first fight at least(I promise!) 20 plus times and it still shocks me. In my opinion,it is one of the greatest fights of all time,if not,for me personally,the greatest and yes I have seen most of the other great fights too.
