@MrLukedanger I certainly can't argue with your other choices. As for Hagler, one of the most astounding things I think I'ver seen was in round 1 of Hagler-Hearns, there's a point (you're probably familiar with it) where Hagler is trying to get Hearns against the ropes, and they're both throwing punches, but Hearns hits Hagler with 3 or 4 of those rights of his, the kind that ko'd Duran, and Hagler just hesitates a little, and then gets right back into it.
@counterstriving yes, jake lamotta, jake dempsy, george foreman, muhammed ali, roberto duran, julion ceasar chavez, no doubt he has an amazing chin though, got him out of a few close scrapes. lets not forget mugabi was the shavers of the division
Curry was a great fighter, but his idea that Hagler doesn't like to fight on the inside is off base. He must have missed the Hearns fight, and had he ever made it into the ring with Marvin with that idea, he would have been in for a rude awakening. Marvelous was a well rounded fighter who fought at short range or long; whatever he felt was necessary
My god, if Mugabi landed that left hook he throws at 1:44, he may have actually....made Hagler blink.

@MrLukedanger And you're right about Mugabi. I don't think many fighters would have been able to take the shots from Mugabi that he did.

It's rare to see a fighter with balance as bad as Mugabi's at this level of fighting. I guess punching power makes up for a lot of sins.

I think Hagler could take a punch better than any fighter in history. Does anyone disagree?

why are there randomly rounds missing? there's no round 3 or 5 or 8!
