Yes, Hagler Hearns is the goat. Cotto Margarito 2 I assume you mean, Miguel’s Revenge after Margarito beat him with loaded gloves in the first fight.
Honestly, if you have the time...i think you gotta go Cotto Marg 1 - the face off where Cotto breaks out the ipad - then Cotto Marg 2
And he just beat a guy he was like 10 years older than and snatched his title.
I feel boxing is one of the few sports you can compare eras like this. And honestly, the volume you had to throw and chin you had to have back then was on a level we'll never get back to (for fighters safety and health this is a good thing).
You dont put any stock into Wilder having a real trainer now? He's literally just needs 1 basic skill added to his power, imo, to be deadly.
I hear you. I was initially leaning Wilder because the total teardown did happen with Malik Scott + the delay gave them more time to work but you're probably right.
Been like 5-6 now, including the fights leading up to the title. Addiction is obviously a lifelong struggle and there are a lot of strong people who never climb out, but Tyson legit seems to. If you just meant in ring, I think he had the proper game plan both fights. Yes, he got hit, but you’re never going to go 12 rounds and not eat something. Even Floyd would take a couple good shots - McGregor, Mosley, Cotto, Maidana.
Yeah i meant in the ring. Outside the ring, he seems to have gotten a hold of things, thankfully.
He’d clown some, but usually after testing his opponent’s power. He doesn’t get reckless too often, and I think when he does it almost amps him up. Like remember when Hogan or Flair would take chest chops to get psyched up? Fury seems to do the same.
A combo of fights 1 and 2. Methodically but with a little more action would be great.
