Marvin Hagler v Gennady Golovkin

[erics44]

I think GGG would do him

Hagler couldn't beat a blown up welterweight

[El Kabong]

I'd have to take The Marvelous One in that bout....if he could take anything Tommy Hearns threw at him he'd have no trouble with GGG unless GGG were going to try to out box him and even then he's going to have to work extremely hard for all 12/15 rounds to do that and I don't think many would be able to handle that.

Hagler looks like a titch compared with todays middles.

I'd like to see how well he fares against Billy Joe, Eubank Jr or Stevens before feeding him to Golovkin, Lemiuex or Jacobs.

I absolutely agree that the 24 hour weigh in rules have made a bit of a mockery of every weight division (apart from heavy, obviously).

It was brought in for the tight reasons, i.e. To prevent fighters dangerously dehydrating to make weight. The unintended consequence is that every single weight division is actually the one ABOVE it.

Having said that, I do think GGG is a natural true middleweight. He is a lot smaller than some of the guys out there now and I reckon he would have been about the same size as Hagler.

The Marvelous One chews up and spits out Saunders, Eubank Junior and the like.

Him and Golovkin would be a fight for the ages. Two big punchers, with absolute iron chins. I can't see either guy being stopped so I reckon this goes to points. Both guys are very underrated boxers ... I can't split these guys, both of whom I think are outstanding fighters

Yeah I agree with you there. When Hagler beat Hearns in that classic, he went up a few notches in my view. I'm a big GGG fan... and it wouldn't be an easy fight for either of them. But I gotta go with Hagler in the end. Either way, it would be a tremendous match.
