LOL. He wasnt tiny at 154. He was about the same height as Canelo (who he would have killed btw). He'd be tiny compared to ROY though.
Mugabi was a big junior middlewieght, broad-shouldered and muscular, he also fought more than half of his 26 fights prior to Hagler at MIDDLEWEIGHT
This fight is a pick-em. It's just a matter of who lands the big one first. And both fighters have an equal shot at that in this one.
Sly height and size are not synonymous. You acknowledge this yeah? Like Derrick Gainer and David Tua for instance.....not the same size.:goingmad: Jake Lamotta & Jesus Chavez, not the same size. Mugabi, not a 'tiny' Junior Middleweight.
I know...I just enjoy saying it. :: It's kinda like Cotto is fragile or Tua is fat. Mugabi is tiny! :giggle:
By modern standards where middleweight means a 175lb Jermain Taylor, you're right, but as far as genuine middleweights go I wouldn't say he's all that small.
He looked tiny next to Hagler..and Marvin wasn't a big guy himself. Guys like Monzon, Hearns and Robinson, for example, were significantly bigger than him not to mention some of the modern giants.
We've come to the point where you can now actually take something that everybody has seen with their own eyes and flat out lie about it, it's fucking awful If anything, Mugabi looked a tad BIGGER than Marvin
Yes and Yes. And your first point is something that has been driving me crazy for quite a while now. I will happily debate folks who disagree with me who know what they are talking about and bring facts to the discussion, but when folks just change reality to suit their arguments, it sucks. And I find it quite insulting to the posters who actually bother to take the time to know what the fuck they are talking about.
