Yes, never top, top class but as tough and as game as they make them and a proper dig on him.

just looked it up, you was right, Leicester. I agree, he was a tough character and had a great career

I liked Sibson as well, really enjoyed his all action style and he was a proper hard cunt. I always remember his first fight back after being dismantled by Hagler. The Yanks fed him as a 'name' to an up and coming star Irish John Collins. Sibson fucking hammered him.

Yea..i agree.
That really was an unbelievable era.
My favourites were Leonard and Hearns...but Hagler and Duran were both exceptional also.
Our top boys at that time minter and Sibson were unfortunate to be around at that time..never stood a chance.
Liked Sibbo though..gave a brave effort against hagler.
Anyone remember Minter v Hagler at wembley arena?.

I actually think, based on styles, Hearns would have been the worst of them for Mayweather, and the one I would be most certain would beat him at welter. Massive reach, lightning hands and a really heavy hitter at the weight. Hearns was a great boxer as well as a puncher and was actually beating Leonard until SRL stopped him very late.
I don't think Mayweather could conceivably get in with someone as big as Hagler.
I just put the clip up to remind myself and others how good these fighters were, and how much the stuff served up last weekend utterly pales in comparison.

they wouldn't have lived with hearns either. it's worth watching his fight with duran just for the sound of the knockout

I rewatched this entire fight after watching Mayweather/Pacquiao as I didn't want to slip into old fartism when trying to assess the merits of the respective generations.
These are the last two rounds, and please bear in mind this was rounds 14 and 15.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_EbO2a9n1s
Having watched the fight I cannot believe that either Pacquiao or Mayweather would have had an earthly with either Leonard or Duran at welterweight. What strikes me most about these two rounds, other than the intensity, is the level of technical ability displayed by both. watch Leonard's speed and footwork, watch Duran's ability to make him miss and immediately counter. It's fucking sublime stuff. Duran frequently outjabs Leonard, leonard beats Duran on the inside and so it goes. Unreal.

went exactkly as I said it would
30 quid on FMJ on points made it less boring
still don't think Manny could have hit him often enough to make it any different 5 year back
