Any Cruiserweight fight Hearns had was a totally soft chinned cherry-pick and forgettable... James Toney's was extremely memorable.

Cuz it was an undefeated Olympic Gold Medal Winner who Toney beat ... Instead of cherry-picked Nate Miller who lost his 3rd fight in a row.
No I asked who had the better chin out of Hagler or Hearns, I didn't mention Toney.

I think Hearns getting flattened as often as he did -- and on shaky legs as often as he was -- should lead you down the right path on that one.

But Hearns chin was good enough to fight at SMW, LHW and CW but Haglers chin wouldn't have been?

If Hagler fought those particular opponents he would beat them... I don't think he was interested in wasting his time... Otherwise he could have padded his career record for a few more years without being in the lime light and losing fights here and there like Hearns... Not Marv's style.

Look Old 'n Moldie...also known as veggie brain... Mugabi stopped 2nd raters before he faced Hagler.. None of the 2nd raters made any impact on the sport before or after.. Mugabi didn't beat one good boxer in his life... Chinny Chin Chinned Terry Norris smashed him out in the 1st round.. Duane Thomas clubbed him out in 3... Gerald McClellan blitzed him out in 1 round -- and those were the only really good boxers he ever faced.

Know what you're talking about before commenting pea-brain.

You demonstrate over and over again that you're shiit-for-brains oldandmoldie

The only World Title Mugabi ever won was at 154 -- and came long after he beat the living shiit out of Hagler, giving him a double head...which firmly convinced Sugar Ray Leonard that Hagler was ready to be taken by a rusty Welterweight coming off a 3-year-layoff.

Thomas, McClellan, and Norris won 17 World Title fights between them.. They were all skilled boxers at their best and that's why they easily stopped John Muagbi.. Mugabi rejected thumbless gloves before the Thomas fight and would have gotten KO'd regardless.. Nobody Mugabi fought before he faced Hagler was any good or won a world title except for Eddie Gazo.. But Gazo finished his career losing his last 6 fights.. Mugabi was his 4th straight KO loss.. Mugabi had one of the most puffed up records ever -- and wouldn't survive good boxers before or after Hagler.

Only a very special type of handicapped mind calls a fighter getting TKO'd him 'beating the crap' out of the man who BEAT him.

You're a simpleton... BOTH fighters often get the crap knocked out of them in a battle of attrition -- and that's what this was!!!

But that challenges your tiny brain??? The fighter who prevails often says "If you think I look bad -- you should see the loser."

But in this case Hagler looked worse than Mugabi... Fans laughed at the TV when they saw his head.

Why do you think a super intelligent guy like Sugar Ray Leonard would say... "I'd want to fight Hagler. I'd love to fight him next."
