Marvin Hagler v Gennady Golovkin

[powerpuncher]

Any middleweight who ever lived? So let's say a Middleweight RJJ fought Hagler....RJJ wouldn't be able to stop him? Ezzard Charles as a middleweight wouldn't stop him? I just find that a bit hard to believe. Hagler was solid and had a granite chin, but un-knock-out-able I don't think he was.

It would be a small list of middleweights that would have been able to stop Hagler. Jackson, Ketchel, McClellan, Benn, Graziano, Hearns, Robinson, Jones Jr., Fitzsimmons, Langford, Fernandez. Possibly a few more I'd give a chance. Not saying these guys would knock him out but if they landed clean they could have.

I'm assuming that any person in the history of the world could possibly be knocked out by a hard shot. Hagler had as granite of a chin as there ever was in boxing history. So is it possible he got KO'd? Sure. But it would be about as likely as McGregor beating mayweather in a boxing match.

Not only did hagler have a great chin, but he was a good enough boxer that he didn't just get hit flush over and over. It's not as if he didn't know how to move if he were hurt.

Exactly and it would have to be someone in the company of those punchers to do it.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler used to do 1000 push-ups and 1000 sit-ups per day. His punches would penetrate through the opponent's bones and out the other side like a bullet. He was the most compact fighter in the history of boxing besides Rocky Marciano and they both came from Brockton Massachusetts. Marvelous Marvin Hagler wouldve ended the career of Triple G because Triple-G likes to come forward. Anybody on this boxing Forum thinks that any fighter who comes forward would stand a chance against Marvin Hagler is just as asinine as any other poster who thinks a fighter who comes forward will stand a chance against George Foreman. It's just not going to work ...keep dreaming

"He was the most compact fighter in the history of boxing besides Rocky Marciano" is the dumbest statement ever posted on saddo.

Rocky was never the most compact fighter and to compare him to Hagler is ridiculous.

Even dumber than that is your failure to understand what compact means

Says the English teacher who equates Rocky to being compact. Rocky was many things but compact compared to Hagler is certainly not the first thing that comes to mind.

I guess that depends on Whose mind we're talking about.
