I just read also that boxer hagler died shortly after getting vaccine,don't know if was related to jab.

His son said he was taken to hospital with chest pains then died four hours later.

The boxer hearns said he was in hospital fighting complications from the jab an asked for prayers,but later stated for people to stop using his post against the vaccine,think it was a few years ago now

Who knows, his wife didn't disclose and had no obligation to. Hagler liked to keep out of the limelight and good on him. One of the best to ever step in to the ring.

Like you say could be natural could be a bad reaction 

But he was a great no. Doubt

His wife clearly stated that it was not due to the vaccine, it's just rumours on the web. Of course she could have been advised to put people's minds at ease but there's no evidence that he even had the jab barring hearsay. It's like nobody ever died before the introduction of the vaccine. Lol

I haven't noticed anything unusual, I don't know of anyone that has supposedly died after taking the vaccine and the majority of people did. Facts are, people have been dropping dead since the dawn of mankind.

Robbed by the judges against Leonard. People will argue about that fight forever. Leonard connected more with shots intended to score  and then escape quickly. He never traded. Did he win it? Technically maybe. But in my gut I feel Leonard was robbed.

I'm a massive Hagler fan but I think Leonard won, Hagler started too slow and tried to be cute early on instead of working him over.

" He never traded " ??

Hagler spend 9 rounds trying to work Leonard into corners or against the ropes only to find that when he eventually got him where he wanted him Leonard squared his feet up squared his shoulders up and totally out worked Hagler......Leonard outsmarted Hagler getting him into the ring at all.....knowing that Haglers feet and hands had slowed....Hagler knew this himself hence he never boxed again.

I must have watched and scored that fight a hundred times over the years and have always had Hagler at least 2 rounds behind.

Regards Hagler and the vaccine as i remember it was actually Tommy Hearns who started the whole thing linking his death to the jab after making a lazy post on Twitter or whatever it was,which he later retracted.....Haglers wife denied any such link.

Have you got inside information mate?

I don't think I've ever witnessed a bloke of this age and experience  ever being tipped by so many within the boxing  community.

Not sure id call it inside info mate just a few trainers ive spoken to that have been around Whyte of late....seems like his punch resistance isnt there anymore....basic footwork/balance and co ordination are shot to bits......getting well paid for fighting a hungry young prospect.....and southpaw !.....all points in one direction for me but who knows.

I just remembered being on my feet at the end of the fight and screaming " no,no, daylight robbery"

For me, Leonard's punches were the same as being hit with balloons. Little pit a pat blows intended to score points and not hurt.

People will argue about it till the year dot. Technically he won, agreed. But I still think Leonard was robbed.

Whatever your opinion, it was a helluva fight by two brilliant boxers.
