has this been dicussed before ??? anyway who would win? id have to say McCLELLAN :)...both guys can bang but gerald could box also,i feel if hagler hurt mcclellan,g-man could dance his way out of danger until his head cleared and pump that jab in haglers face until it resembled a hamburger....but if gerald hurt hagler,hagler would have to much pride to retreat also he cant fight on the back foot and get koed! ...........HAVE UR SAY! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Hagler ALL DAY LONG! overall much greater fighter end of.
yes i know haglers greater but mcclellan didnt get the oppertunity to acheive greatness,but i believe he was on hes way,and from what ive seen of him,he could beat hagler IMO ..mcclellan had the power advantage and had good overall boxing ability..hagler was nothing more than a come foward pressure fighter with no head movement,he was not hard to hit ;DQuote:

Don't understand why everyone rates McClellan so high - he was nothing special.
I had to chuckle, Hagler couldnt fight on the back foot. Oh yes he could watch some of his early fights, being right sided it was easy to move the front foot. At the time of the Ben fight it was known that McClellan had been badly Kod in sparring twice in Miami the previous month by another S/middle the writing was on the wall.
Hagler by KO
That hard sparring led my trainer to believe that G-Man was injured even before the Benn fight, Benn just worsened it
Apart from devestating power McCllellen was an avrage fighter in most other areas.When you totaly relly on power you get caught out sooner or later.
Hagler on the other hand was excelent in every way and his rock like chin would canncel out McClellens power just like in his fight with John Mugaby.
Hagler in 8-10 rounds.
this wud have been a classic g- man was so brutal but Hagler was just an imovable object.
KO 7 MARVIN FOR ME
Hagler made good fighters look bad.. He was that good. He would have stopped Gerald in round 5 or so. I feel bad saying this in light of what happened to Gerald. I think Gerald was a heck of a fighter and a good man. This does not diminish him at all. I am just talking about him fighting Marvin Hagler. Hagler was a tough order for everyone. How Ray Leonard beat him shows how great Ray was and how Ray coming in with complete knowledge of Hagler knew he would not go for a knockout, so he boxed boxed boxed. You cannot fight Hagler with the idea of going toe to toe with him for even 5 seconds.
i think hagler would have stopped G man mid way. Dont forget Marvin fought devastating punchers like Hearns and Mugabi when past his peak. I think a peak Hagler would give McClellan angles with his southpaw stance before opening up.
I agree X, as Antonio Montana say, like a fucckin cock-aroach. CC :coolclick:Quote:

Hearns threw a uppercut/cross king of punch and hit Marvin high on the head flush.. I mean Hearns put some leverage on that and Marvin buckled and his face was distorted for a sec and he back off, but he came right back a second later. I never saw a punch land that flush against a guy and he stand up.. Hagler had some chin and the person who said G man or others punched harder than Hearns. No, Hearns had speed and height and that equaled leverage. Hagler had an incredible chin. Any other man would have been on his back with that right hand. Hagler made a bit of a mistake to rush Tommy and the fact he was not hurt was the reason he could keep coming. At that point he realized I better tuck my chin in and throw hard blows since this man can punch and Hagler kept coming and coming. Hearns kept hitting him but I think the broken right hand made it harder to land that leverage. Had Tommy not broken his right hand that would have been very interesting. Something tells me the way Hearns landed to clean a punch against Marvin that he might have kept landing punches and stopped Marvin. but he broke that right hand. Had a little to do with Marvin's hard head. But give Marvin credit. Then when Marvin fought Mugabi, he was hit with clean Mugabi punches and hardly took a backward step. So he takes clean Hearns and Mugabi punches and you guys are saying he could not take G mans punch or Benns? Hearns and Mugabi were probably two of the hardest punching middleweights of all time and certainly of the 80s
Hagler would have gobbled up the G-Man like a Tyrannousaurus Rex at a Diplodocus party!!!
Hagler loved big punching brutes who tried to KO him.
McClellan did have a very good chin, so the fight may have lasted the distance, but Marvin would have busted him up.
Marvin was a wrecking ball, one of the toughest guys to ever put gloves on, NO WAY on earth does gerald beat him. Mclellan hit very hard yes, but marvin would have taken the shots and just kept coming and shut him down, legendary fighter 8)
I don't care who wins this one I would have just loved to see it happen...I was a huge fan of both...Man talk about some hard shots??? These guys would have broke the compubox record on power shots for sure
