The Annual: Who's greater, Hopkins or Hagler?

Anyone with any boxing knowledge beyond Tyson and RJJ here is a rare beast...

Well you're just a couple years older than Jaws for example.

You wouldn't think that reading your respective posts.

 

I think it is mainly that you pick very old-time fighters over modern guys and the language you use is civilized. Even though I see boxing quite differently to you, I do respect you:Thumbs:

 

Shut it smelly face, my Da' would batter your Da'!:Wah:

 

Lap it up, Ramonza, this is as close as a display of personal warmth we around these parts have ever seen from the Ice Man!:Thumbs:

 

Fixed.

 

I love you Hut Hut

 

.....nah.....too easy....

 

I've Waited so long to hear you say that! :bears: I don't want this moment to ever end....ray:artie:

 

No, by your standards making a joke from that shows remarkable intelligence. :bears:

 

I don't get what you're trying to say in this sentence...but that's not due to a lack of intelligence, rather it's because I don't speak Fag, and Finnish Fag is even worse..

:giggle:

 

Well, maybe the old fighters were better... ;)

Appreciate the kind words, Ugotabe :Thumbs:

 

How old are you, Sly? I had trouble telling from your photo.

 

I'm 39.

 

I would have guessed early 30s, purely because you've said you're older. You look 10 years younger.

 

seriously... damn those handsome young looking black folks... ::

 

I know. Bastards the lot of them.

 

Thanks man.

 

There is not all that much difference between us, then.

Sorry, gramps ::

 

Any changes in opinions over the last 3 years?

 

Nah, Hagler was clearly better/greater.

 

a couple casualties in this topic. Imoanfa Decrepitguys and Dasuction of Gaymen

 

Hopkins obviously more accomplished. But I prefer hagler.

 

I don't know that there's anything obvious about that. Beating Hearns alone >>>> anything Hops did.

 

Yeah, I've always been a real fan of Hopkins and his style, but the truth is he doesn't have one truly great win. People consider his best win Tito, a 1 dimensional, lead footed welterweight.

I'm more impressed with his wins over Tarver, Pavlik and Pascal than anything else, given his age especially.
