    that would be kind of sweet if Spinks won. it would serve Taylor right, even though I don't completely blame him for his choice of opponents. I think his promoter probably has more to do with it, and the fact that his company can't afford for Taylor to lose.

    the most satisfying thing would be hearing and seeing DiBella's reaction if Taylor loses.

    If Taylor loses...we all lose. HBO loses. WBC/IBF/WBA loses. Boxing loses.

    I'll have to turn to UFC....

    BINGO, all of those guys, brilliant as they were had a key defiency. The greatness was in how often they overcame it.

    Hagler is an outstanding choice for this list, as are Sugar Rays Robinson and Leonard

    Ezzard Charles certainly merits consideration, as does Evander Holyfield IMO

    Another guy that comes to mind in his younger days was Julio Cesar Chavez--did everything superbly well

    Also, Ricardo lopez

    They're pretty close.

    Both guys fight from the outside, mid-range, inside.

    Hagler was more proven in the brawling category, I've seen him go to that "extra gear" when brawling later in his career that I didn't see from Hopkins in his latter years.

    Hopkins is better defensively and quicker of hand. Hagler hit harder and had a better jab. They both had top-notch stamina.

    Hopkins could do more things than Hagler. That should cover it.

    Well, off the top of my head:
    • Punching power, but not KO power
    • Doesn't throw enough punches
    • Doesn't punch in combinations
    • Middling-to-good competition
    • A two-year stretch where he fought a string of nobodies
    • Never ruled any one single division thoroughly
    • Can be bullied to the ropes
    • Doesn't counterpunch off the ropes well
    I mean, the guy's one of the best I've seen, but he's not exactly Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Tyson and Ray Robinson would basically both be 100 for chin, speed, power in a boxing video game.
