A lot of posters have only watched one or two of Haglers fights.I am guessing the Hearns fight,SRL fight and maybe the Minter fight coz thats when he won the title.
If you watch Haglers many other fights you will realise that Hagler is not a devestating 1 punch fighter.
He wore his opponents down with lots of good well placed hard shots and kept his power in to the latter rounds.
At times he was also happy to outbox opponents rather than try to stop them
Because of the way he won over Hearns I think some people think he is like a middleweight Tyson.
Marvin only went the distance with Duran , then when alot slower and past his best , Leonard.He koed all his other challengers.
Marvin did have good boxing skills , also he could eat punches and chase a fighter down , something Calzaghe could never do , even againest poor oponants.
Calzaghe is a good fighter for sure , but im sorry i do not accept he could have beaten Marvin , based on the fact he beat a shot Jones , 43 Hopkins , and Kessler.
For the record i have nearly all Marvin Hagler's fights.
