Remember Sugar was sitting ringside at the Mugabi fight and decided that Marvin had slipped just enough that he wanted to fight him. Mugabi gave Marvin a very tuff scrap and Leonard outworked him to get the decision. If they fight in 87/88 I could see the Body Snatcher pulling the upset.
I agree that Mike McCallum may of beaten the 1987 version of Marvin Hagler, but i thought he meant prime for prime. But whatever i agree with your comment.
