I do not think so. Hagler had a great chin and was hit by Hearns and was wobbled but stayed up. So the fact he stayed up speaks for itself. And Mugabi didn't even wobble Hagler. So two punchers Hearns and Mugabi didnt knock out Hagler. But was he unknockable? No. Had he not retired after Leonard he would have eventually probably been knocked out. but he had a good chin. I never thought Chavez would be knocked out and then I saw him first knocked down by Randall and then later put down by a Tzyzu right hand. So if a guy can be hit clean anyone can go. Some guys who had great chins like Hagler who knows. Look at how Hagler was built. He had the best solid body for that weight. So to just hurt him would take a guy who can really punch.
