Lelands.com ending tonight; Hagler No. 35 in what list?
Posted by Steve

49870.jpgLelands.com ends tonight so remember to get those bids in before the 8:00 central deadline if you are serious about an item. Two items jump out at me immediately when looking at the auction. First, the T206 Honus Wagner Proof uncut strip is at $252,723 already with five and a half hours left to go. That's nearly $297,000 with the juice. It's an amazing item. Second, the Cassius Clay vs. Sonny Liston I Full Ticket with Original Envelope (lot 97) is at 47611a.jpg$10,357, which means more than $12,000 with the buyer's premium. When I first saw this one, I made a mental note to watch the bidding because it's an item I want to add to my collection. This one might be the best that exists and is probably worth grading. At its current price, I can guarantee this will be graded and the bidders believe it will be a 9 or 10.

FG02447_6493158.jpgSpeaking of boxing, did anyone else look at the "50 Greatest Boxers of All-Time" on espn.com? Wow. This list is absolutely horrible...where do I start? The most glaring error for me is Hagler at 35. That's just horrible with 12 title defenses, and victories over Duran (No. 6), Hearns, and we all know he beat Leonard so how is he that low? Roy Jones Jr. was invincible in his prime. Mayweather should be higher. I'm not sure if this guy watched boxing past 1950. How does he ignore all the late-life losses of some guys, but then kills Jones Jr. because he stayed around too long? Dempsey at No. 9 and Tunney at No. 16...hey, who won both of those fights? Saddler at No. 29 and Pep at No. 5 despite Saddler winning three of four head-to-head? This is the worst list I've ever seen. This guy should be banned from writing for espn again and Bill Simmons should devote his next column to making fun of this guy.
