Ringsider obviously hasn't seen a prime Hagler, or just doesn't like him. I mean, watch him bouncing in and out in the Minter fight, or dancing away from Briscoe. Plodding? Yea, right. Slow? Watch those tapes again. Hagler was quick.

Yeh Minter was a real mover, great in the footwork department. A real test to see Hagler cut off the ring!! He was a plodding european stand up SOUTHPAW, that makes him even more plodding than Hagler was. The battle of the southpaw plodders. Europeans champs, laughable, Minter took the title from Vito Antuofermo. Minter, a british southpaw as a test of an opponents footwork and boxing skills? Surely you jest? Stand up one dimensional fighters. Let us just take a recent one who was thought by fools to be great, Prince Naseem....take your stupidity elsewhere.
Once again ignorance rears its ugly head. Frazier for one. Frazier cut the ring off. Frazier didn't just follow Ali around. That is one reason the fights between the two were so good.

Erm, no, he didn't cut the ring off. And Frazier hardly had fast feet.
When Foreman cut off the ring, Ali laid on the ropes.
Hey dumbo, you don't have to have fast feet to cut the ring off. You telling me Foreman had fast feet? You have to have footwork, and know how to move correctly to cut the ring off. I hope you don't call yourself a boxing fan? What a disgrace it would be to call you a boxing fan..

Who said you needed fast feet to cut the ring off?! You fornicating idiot.
This is the end of this joke of a conversation. I know, you know and everybody else knows, you are just here to piss people off. Well done, it's worked. Now fornicate off.

The above is your quote doubledumb. In that quote you are saying that Frazier didn't and could not cut the ring off, and from the wording it seems to me you are saying he could not do that because he didn't have fast feet. Then you make reference to Foreman being able to cut the ring off on Ali, I assume because you think Foreman had fast feet, and that is why he was able to cut the ring off. You don't even know what the hell you are saying or talking about. That Figures!!
