That. Was. Hilarious.

Mine will always be Roy Jones. He clowned James Toney and dropped him while doing it, he Ko'd Virgil Hill with a body shot, rocked John Ruiz who was 30+ lbs heavier when they fought and put his hands behind his back before dropping a guy.

Hagler. FACT.

I just watched this fight again. Great fight, and not an easy one to score, which is why there is so much disagreement on it. Here is how I scored it:

Rounds 1-4: 10-9 Leonard each.

Rough 5: 10-9 Hagler

Round 6: 10-9 Leonard

Rounds 7-8: 10-9 Hagler each

Round 9 (very close round, and the best round of the fight): 10-9 Hagler

Rounds 10-11: 10-9 Leonard each

Round 12: 10-9 Hagler

So, I score it 115-113 for Leonard (7-5 in rounds)

Riddick Bowe

All of the usuals mentioned. But in addition Greg Haugen. Straight up brawler. Didn't protect himself too good but dished it out too.
