James has the better chin
But Hagler never fought at Heavyweight so how do we know he could,nt take them

Very true he didn't. SO how can we assume. We've seen James take them, and Hagler never had to, so James has a better chin by what's been seen. We could speculate all day, but from what we've 'seen', James has a better chin.

Why did Hearns buckle his knees in their fight then? There are fighters who have never been hurt ala Tua.
Haglers knees dipped a little bit at the start of the 1st round against Hearns then his head clears ands doesnt get hurt again as for Tua Lennox hurt him a few times and Rahman hurt him pretty bad right at the end of there rematch also for the record Felix Savon stopped him in amatuers
I also think that when a guy who is champ like Hagler - goes in throwing punches, it is alot easier to be hurt than if he fights defensively like Tua. Hagler was throwing bombs at Hearns and Hearns started to unleash and caught Hagler when Hagler was in the middle of throwing his punches. I remember the Tua fight as a fight where Tua sort of was in a defensive shell. Being in that defensive shell he knew that either he stay there or Lennox would have knocked him out. If Lennox didn't punch hard Tua would have punched more. But Tua didn't want to be knocked out.
