Winky I think would have beaten all them except maybe Hagler, but I'm not sure we'll see how strong Winky is for a middleweight when he fights the strong Taylor in July because if Winky is strong enough his powerful jab, and ability to use it against conventional fighters would have been too much for the 80 fighters.
I think both would have faired well, but Hagler beats both, and Taylor too. All would be close IMO.But, I give the edge to Marvin.
I think Marvin would lose to Taylor for sure, but probably beat Winky, and I would pick Hopkins prime over Hagler prime for technical reasons.
