The REAL Marvin Hagler was a very fast very accurate boxer. He threw fast, hard straight punches, and he worked the body very well. He was very mobile and hard to hit and, as always, you couldn't hurt the man.
RJJ at MW was, at best, an advanced amateur, with power "proven" against Jorge Vaca and Art Serwano. His fight with Hopkins was terrible: when Hagler was coming up it would've been a 6 rounder. The idea of RJJ "potshotting" Hagler is beyond ridiculous. This fight, between a prime Hagler and RJJ at 160, would not go 6 rounds and it would not be pretty. At any weight, Hagler wins because Jones Jr never had the bottom for a real fight.
