hill- was 34 and his prime was the late eighties.
hopkins- didnt hit his prime yet.
johnson- the biggest names on his record where all his losses. he did beat collins though so maybe he does have a little credibility.(but every fighter has one good fight in them)
gonzalez- beat letterlough but thats it before the jones fight. he was still green.
harding - ok harding was a good fighter but he had no punch and jones was quicker.
griffin- the only guy he beat was a sluggish james toney.
toney- lost like 12 pounds to make weight and came in with nothing.
pazienza!!!!!!!!!!!!- im shocked you would even include him on you list since he was a washed up lightweight!
tate- well tate beat noone of any real significance ever. lost to ottke twice.


start comparing them to hagler's opponents and let me know what you think.

put them in matchups against hagler's opponents and tell me who would win.

lets see i would of loved to see how montell griffin did against john mugabi or
how tate would have have done against roldan lol


get real jones was the best of the nineties BUT THATS IT!
Who did Marvin fight that was great in their natural weight class agian? Duran was a lightweight, Leonard hadn't foughten in 3 years and he was a welterweight, and he beat Hagler, Hearns was a welterweight as well. Half the guys he fought had good records, but they didn't do anything with their careers.
