How would a Roy Jones Jr Vs Marvin Hagler fight have ended

[RozzySean]

Don't let the fact that Hagler is old school cloud YOUR judgement. Hagler from 78-82. Again, think Roy wins this one by decision, probably 8 rounds to 4.

I don't think stylistically Jones is a nightmare for Hagler. Jones is a stylistic nightmare for a counterpuncher like James Toney or a one-dimensional slugger like Thomas Tate. Or a plodding, slow pressure fighter like Clinton Woods. I think people are saying that based on the Leonard fight, and by that point, Hagler's legs were old and he had become far more one dimensional.

Jones never fought anybody like Hagler in his prime, the combo of power, speed, determination, and skill. The closest, in terms of talent he got was probably Toney, and Toney was much different style than Hagler.

Hagler had crap speed, he was average in the speed department at best, also what about a young HOpkins? He was determiend, had power, the chin, etc, etc and ROy beat him comfortably with one hand. Reggie Johnson great chin, good speed, southpaw, determined, look what Roy did to him. McCallum great chin, good pressure fighter, great body work, look at that fihgt.

You are arguing Hagler had old legs against a guy who hadn't foughten in 3 years and was fighting 13 pounds above his natural weight class? Whats your excuse for him against Duran?

Then I can say that from the other side and say that Hagler never fought anyone even close to Roy Jones in terms of power speed or style.

But it would be fair to say that Hagler's opposition was much much better than Jones', so it would not apply conversely so much.

Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard, Bobby Watts etc were stratospeheres better than some of the people around when Jones was, I would say - so Hagler would have been used to facing much better fighters and beating them.
