I'll never forget Benn cheering him on passionately for the second Eubank fight, they interview him between rounds and he's saying how odd it is, he should be cheering for a guy who beat him (in a fight that was a big heated rivalry itself at the time),
of course that was an expression of how much he hated Eubank as much as liked and respected Watson.

Foreman was another biased commentator. It was a total popularity contest with him. If he liked a bum he was "great."Counter-puncher wrote: ↑19 Nov 2017, 05:59Ha. I think I'm right, in that commentary he always referred to Leonard as Leonard, and Tommy as Tommy? No favouritism there then, lol. I seem to recall one time him saying something like 'Leonard's being tricky now (as in, sly) Tommy needs to press him', he clearly wanted Hearns to beat him so badly.SaadOffTheDeck wrote: ↑19 Nov 2017, 05:27Hagler provided the greatest commentary ever in the Leonard/hearns rematch. " Get him Tommy!"

I'm able bodied and mentally fit...and Watson wasn't a Heavyweight.. And nothing wrong with being a Brit -- but I'm an American.Counter-puncher wrote: ↑19 Nov 2017, 06:55Oh come on mate that's harsh, Watsons had his problems since the Eubank fight and his hospitalisation and being wheelchair-bound and all but he's disabled, not retarded.

Post your DD214, whilst we're on the subject of liars.
Re: Marvin Hagler, a victim of racism/colorism?
Post your birth certificate so we know you're not a veggie grown in Kenya. And post your name, address, and phone number since you want everyone to know exactly who you are, how many times you've been married, and if you've ever been arrested for assault and battery.

Come on, you made this huge claim about having had a unique honourable discharge from the USMC, contrary to Supreme court rulings, blank out your personal details and post your DD214 and prove me an idiot for calling you a terrible, terrible liar.

Re: Marvin Hagler, a victim of racism/colorism?
I dunno,but I do remember watching his fight live on the telly with Alan Minter,
when the crazed Britons tossed all that debris and stuff into the ring.
The ring annoucers seemed to indicate it was directed against Marvelous Marvin Hagler,
but my impression in watching it on the telly, was that it was more directed at Minter
for loosing the fight.

Re: Marvin Hagler, a victim of racism/colorism?
I didn't make anything huge. The Viet Nam War was wrong and that's what I believed. I don't claim a unique personal history. The Courts made no ruling on what an individual discharge could be.. The military makes most of those decisions.. The court ruled Ali was free to reject military service based on his beliefs and make many other individual rulings.. At one time the court ruled that slavery was legal.. At other times that segregation was legal.. They've made many right and wrong decisions.. Hurricane Carter had 20 years of decisions going against him and he only needed 1 correct ruling to be set free.Counter-puncher wrote: ↑25 Nov 2017, 14:21I make no claims to a unique personal history, as you do.Kalan wrote: ↑25 Nov 2017, 14:11 Post your birth certificate so we know you're not a veggie grown in Kenya.

Well, Hagler wasn't exactly a pretty boy.Kalan wrote: ↑18 Nov 2017, 18:27 Danny Trejo was fukking ugly. Uglier than Bronson or Richard Boone. That helps get parts as the tough guy.
It's like seeing a guy with a cheap glass eye that looks like a marble.. It's like, WHOOAH stay out of this guy's way.. Maybe the rest of his face is unfortunate as well so he tries to go with the look by dressing tough and acting surly, like he's looking for trouble. Joe Pesci played characters where you knew you could kick his ass, but also knew he'd knife you or shoot you dead in retaliation when he got the chance.
Re: Marvin Hagler, a victim of racism/colorism?
Not pretty...not super ugly...not intimidating looking... A regular guy type. Played regular guy heroes in Italian Action Adventure movies
Re: Marvin Hagler, a victim of racism/colorism?
They did not... Ali believed in holy war or righteous war. He was not a pacifist.

Ray won the 76 Olympics, had the smile, the it factor like Sam Bowie. Marvin didn't have that charisma. Plus, that mental thing he had limited him.

Re: Marvin Hagler, a victim of racism/colorism?
Kinda strange to make a big racial thing out of Leonard being more commercially successful than Hagler.
Last I heard, both guys were black, so why is the race card introduced?

Re: Marvin Hagler, a victim of racism/colorism?
George Foreman was by far the most commercially successful boxer in fistic history.... How'd HE manage?
Had he been white a lot of people would be making a big deal out of it -- saying a black champ couldn't do that.
