  1.  @tynao2029  Holyfield was juiced up to the gills against Tyson. Unfair advantage for Mr Evan Fields which is the name he got the peds under.

  2. His peak was his fight with Hearns where he put it all together. Sorry I don't mean to sound rude. He even said so himself how he put it all together in that fight with Hearns. Then it was all downhill after that. First he lost his speed against Mugabi then Leonard took advantage of that, or Leonard tried to and lost! (Hagler won imo) Then he retired. Peak, means all coming together at once rather than one thing being better. His peak and peak performance was against Hearns. As was Hearns peak against Hagler. Neither fighter was the same again, it took a lot out of them. I understand you may mean peak as in physicsl prime et cetera 28 or 29 but brains and braun come together to make a PEAK Marvelous Marvin Hagler. 31 can be a perfect time for a lit of middleweights

  3.  @user-sz5xs7dm4u  Hearns had blistering power,Ali wore u down gradually and outboxed you,Hearns right hand was the defining knockout punch of the 80s,to say he was an arm puncher??

  4. True, Hearns' tactics were to try and get Hagler to concentrate on the left hand jab and work from there and Haglers to go to the body and work his way up. But both just threw that out the window and went for it after a few seconds.

  5.  @blackjack-ks8zn  And Benitez add that to Duran Leonard and also Cuevas also the first man to beat long standing light heavyweight champion Virgil Hill. His war with Hagler,awesome,wouldnt see that kind of fighting today. Just agreeing with you and adding bouts you know about.

  6.  @douglaswalters2670  Yeah Whyte has lost his punch resistance Esspecially to uppercuts. AJ started it then Povetkin and Fury knew it. Knocked out with one punch off fury imagine if wilder hit him or Zhang

  7. He fought Larry Holmes and struggled against a 52 year old holmes

  8.  @neegachu9074  Just casuals that don't understand boxing and looked at Butterbean throwing punches inside. Not knowing it requires good footwork giving angles and moving your head correctly. All those things BB didn't know..

  9.  @mrmagoo491  Seems to be a thing,when you say Mugabi wasn't the same,Hearns was like that,he wasn't quite the same after fighting Hagler.

  10.  @deezapenutz  To have Hagler Hearns and Leonard all competing in the same era was great,all great fighters,Duran too,but obviously he was smaller,still have Hagler hell though and only lost by one round,I believe Duran would have beat Hagler if he was a bigger fighter.

  11. Price retired ages ago
    4
  12.  @gjfjdjd  Nahh Julian Jackson hit harder,even carried the punch up to middle from junior middle,also McClellan,Nigel Benn and Thomas Hearns would debate that

  13.  @kek283  Anderson is another one who will get exposed if he has the balls to fight Kabayel but he won't Kabayel would hammer him. Anderson telegraphs his punches he's stiff and one dimensional . Kabayel would destroy him. Kabayel has wins like chisora who always gives anyone a good fight and makhmudov who was untested and not that good but still had a decent win against Takam, and Kabayel went through him. Now this win against Sanchez. Ok he had a stiff knee but he still looked good against him. 3 years ago Kabayel was seen as a fancy Dan but now the guys turning em over. I'm impressed with him. Let see how he goes on with a rangy boxer from the top tier.

  14. He doesn't try you throw it loose

  15.  @DWilliam1  I agree Hearns was still great after the Hagler fight but he'd still lost that incredible handspeed (His speed was still there but not that blistering speed we saw against Duran and Hagler) and his punch resistance was gradually diminishing. Turned back the clock against an unbeaten and well respected Virgil Hill, Tommy out boxed and out foxed him. Don't get me wrong Hearns was my fav boxer back then I idolised Tommy. I think or should I sag I know he beat Leonard in their second fight. I've never met anyone who thinks Ray won. And imo Hearns in his super welter and middleweight years between 82 and 86 was too much for Ray at tgat time, Ray thought he'd caught Tommy on the slide and would beat him but Tommy was well up for that fight in every department. I have the biography on Hearns career called "Hitman" it's a cracking read and explains how manny got Hearns right up for the Leonard fight. How Tommys jaw had come out slightly on one side at the back and how they designed a new mouth piece to equalised the shape of his jaw and how they had worked on his legs to strengthen them. I'd really recommend reading it the author is a guy called Brian Hughes. My dear long lost pops bought it for me as he knew how much I liked Tommy.

  16. Thankyou friend peace be upon you and yours.

  17. He was my fav of the 4 only thing I wish he did better was his defence,something Manny improved on later on with his KRONK fighters..

  18.  @arielalbeltocollado6411  If he had a broken knee he wouldn't have been allowed to fight off the commission. It was a strain not a break he had a stiff knee that's all.
    3
  19.  @benjaminrichardson4094  One judge gave it to Hearns the other two Hagler,but in all honesty it's the most even brutal first round in boxing history,at least what I've seen anyway.

  20.  @redbulltapia7999  8 and 5 makes 13 dummy and that's not how you score fights it's done on a ten point must system and you get 10:8 for a knockdown,you salty clown he lost get over it.

  21.  @wankasaurusrex7621  Your a black Englishman who's bitter because your brethren lost,take the chip off your shoulder and rise above racism it's not worth it pal,just rise above it

  22.  @tarzan4771  Aye Sean just to say there is a north south devide in England and us in the north feel it off those posh woolly backs too from down south,all the best to you pal.

  23. He also said "No love" And that statement since from his team to try and save face is garbage,it means nothing,he's a sore sore loser,excuse maker. To think I used to like him,what a clown!
    2
  24.  @cadeeshak  Have you not followed the fury wilder story how can you say that crap,its common sense wilder is a bitter excuse making fool and a big baby. For you to say it's after the fight heat et cetera is just crap,his team also wrote that other stuff to try and save face and it seems to have worked with casuals like you and if you aren't a casual then you are either a mug or too Mr nice,so which are you because I'm 100% certain you are wrong in what you think you know

  28.  @andydnyc  That's cool dude sometimes there can be a bit of truth on both sides depending how you look at things and reasoning et cetera. But you're entitled to your opinion take care bruv 👌👍

  29. If I was to say anything negative about Donald it would that he holds his head too high up.

  30.  @NemeanLion-  There you go then that proves it even more.

  31.  @NemeanLion-  Corrected it 👍

  32.  @l00d3r  Agree,very close fight and I thought Hagler won all the middle rounds I thought Hagler did enough to defend his title.
    2
  33.  @kiboma4209  Slow? You think.
    2
  34. I don't think he was an underdog Kabayel beat Chisora convincingly beat makhmudov easily. Sanchez only has one decent win against Ajagba. So this bout was a 50/50
    2
  35. Exactly,also with Hearns his hand speed,made it much harder to get past that reach,Leonard who also had incredible handspeed was shorter,in reach, so Duran could negate that,once Hearns jab set the other punches up there was only going to be one winner.

  36. He sings good too,every now and then he steps in with "DON'T PUSH" or "NO HOLDING,NO HOLDING STEP BACK"

  37.  @johnrodriguez9839  12 rounder this one John but you're right there,Hagler like a steam roller 🙂.

  39.  @igotanimac1  I know right,what's he going on about

  40.  @kickerse13  Yeah not using the jab to set up other shots and it also keeps you off balance.
    1
  41.  @chincheck739  Also improves performance look at Lance Armstrong for example in the Tour De France. Holyfield might have beat him anyway, he had a good chance which makes it even sadder that he did what he did. How pumped up he looked against Tyson was ridiculous!

  42. Well written but I wouldn't say Hagler was an unknown quantity when he went in to the fight with Minter,he already had a disputed draw with Vito antuafirmo at a crack at his world Title.
    1
  43.  @WZ912  I think Leonard was the best all rounder of the 5 and even had great survival instincts,knowing how to cover up well et cetera,very clever bloke,although I thought Hagler beat him and Hearns best him in their rematch,but Leonard was a great fighter.

  50. So you can't go above the 102 floor only v.i.p,s and 25 foot gorillas allowed. Not fair that's discrimination..

  51. If just twenty seconds of that action happened in the first round you'd say if was a pretty good first round. They just beat the crap out of each other and you can see the thud in Hearns' punches but they just bounce of Haglers dome and chin. And Marvin just relentless going forward walking through the punches to land his own. Imagine if Tommy had the ability to soak up punches as well as Marvin it could have gone on like this to the middle rounds, just awesome, both men at their peak.

  52. He could get a fighter to make more come backs than Lazarus..

  53.  @mr.policeman6129  No probs

  54. He would have been better off fighting Howard off the bank commercials.

  55.  @andydnyc  But Hearns though? How hours he lose a step then miraculously recover it 2 years later. You do get fighters making great performances older but this is different.

  56.  @andydnyc  Hearns broke his little finger in 82

  57.  @motorcitycobra8875  I meant that a compliment,shows how good Hearns was if he wasn't quite the same after fighting Hagler but can still win world titles,you don't have to be a great fighter to win world titles anyway so shows your lack of boxing knowledge,call me a putz if that makes you feel better,how mature of you. Most people say Hearns wasn't quite the same after fighting Hagler,he lost some of that hand speed he had,perhaps that could be attributed to him beefing up his arms. See ya..

  58.  @motorcitycobra8875  Oh you're insulting everybody else too,really should leave the drink alone pal. ✌️

  59. That you clearly haven't followed,what are you talking about wilder wouldn't even talk last time.

  60. It was a water bottle mixed with the stuff used in Asthma inhalers. Panama lewis the rat cheating again with his shady little fighters.

  61.  @NIROSAN19  I've seen Sanchez in a few stinkers against journeymen. And don't mention big stiff ajagba he's average at best he won't make it. That's Sanchez' best win

  62.  PiplupPlus  Doesn't work like that pal.

  63. Got a look of the great Roberto Duran. Stitch Duran in his corner too.

  64. He can take a punch too

  65.  @syariefdirgantara7670  Very true about Mugabi and like most fighters wasn't the same after his 11 round war with Hagler

  66. You should an old school vid of fights at the garden. You'd find some good stuff
    1
  67. Well chisora always gives guys a good close fight apart from fury, and Kabayel beat Chisora convincingly. It's not his lack of talent it's his lack of big fights a lot due to the pandemic times.
    1
  68.  @arielalbeltocollado6411  Your language is Spanish. That explains why you are bias towards Sanchez. Kabayel is a better fighter get over it.
    1
  69.  @dreyb1801  Clearly you've never been in a boxing ring the condition you have to be in to just go a couple of rounds. Sanchez wouldn't have been allowed to fight if he wasn't in shape or his knee was that bad.. Stop making excuses. I've seen Sanchez in a few stinkers he isn't that good and neither is ajagba

  70.  @DejiTalker  This is a sport where they punch holes out of each other. These are tough men. Stop making excuses.

  71.  @seanmann863  True Sean and in an x-ray they said he had a thicker skull than average to go with it,I remember Hearns saying,"No wonder he shaves it he has some weapon here" Hearns height actually went against him in this bout with Hagler,a solid chin,trump's power imo

  72. Pal I live in Manchester we don't have a statue of Wilder and with respect the fact you were told that and actually believed it makes me wonder about your mental health!

  73.  @angelareele858  Who
    1
  74.  @angelareele858  I take it you mean Wilder but what you're saying makes little sense firstly Duboi and Joyce were coming up the ranks and still not ready for a wilder fight. Povetkin was signed for a fight with wilder but Povetkin got done for popping when he got tested just a few short weeks before the fight so wilder went to England instead of Russia. When and why would he duck del boy? Or Parker. I'm not saying he didn't cherry pick and wasn't protected but seems like you're just clutching at rumours that have no basis in proven truth. He certainly picked too many c list and d list fighters even as champion. The Joshua ducking is debatable but the rest is jyst the rumours and crap you hear Angela. Sorry but he certainly didn't duck povetkin

  76.  @3l_sykosis_ruiz_352  Viva Andy Ruiz the Mexican American who gave Joshua his first loss and handily
    1
  77.  @mikepastor.k6233  It was Hagler who initiated the fast start though,not Hearns,Hearns was told to concentrate on the jab and Hagler the body,then all hell broke lose after Hagler started so fast,Hearns just went with him,don't know why you'd say it was Hearns who started it.
    1
  78.  @craigsimons817  Richard Steele did not advise Hagler between the the second and third that it would be stopped,he just sent him to see the ring doctor,I don't know where you're getting your info but that just isn't true.
    1
  79. He broke his hand in the last minute of the first round,with one of those high hooks in Haglers forehead,Hearns and reg gutreridge chat about it whilst watching the fight and they both say it's around a minute to go. It's a common theory but untrue that Hearns broke his hand in that first assault,you can see in the fight that that's the case anyway.
    1
  80. Pretty clever that deal by Jake as even if he loses and doubles Tommy 's money he still gets paid and Tommy doesn't. Jake just loses out on a couple of mill. It's all crap anyway. Pride aside you want paying what ever pantomime crap goes on bf the "fight"
