Think Leonard-Hagler, but in this fight Jones is faster than Leonard was at that point, and he hits hard enough that HAgler can't walk through his punches to counter like he did against Leonard.











No way....Jones does not hit that hard to keep Hagler off of him....Marvin was in with harder punchers than Roy...Marvin had a Granite chin...Look at Jones career...with the exception of Toney and a yet to be polished Hopkins he went a long long time fighting second teir opp...Guys ment to make you look good....Marvin would not fall into Toneys bad habit of trying to out do Jones and fight his fight. Hopkins was no where near the fighter he became as MW champion...Like I said befroe he took everthing the Beast had to offer and never even teetered...I would put the farm on it that Mugabi hit harder then Jones...The power is of no factor in this fight what so ever
