Reggie Johnson beat Chris Collins, Lost a split decision to James TOney, first guy to beat Lamar Parks, lost a split decision to Tarver way later, He lost a close fight to John David Jackson, and two fights that could have gone either way against Jorge Casto who was an excellent fighter. Reggie Johnson wouldn't have been a walk in the park for Hagler. Also who did Hagler fight before he faced the welterweight greats, or besides them? Roy would have destroyed Mugabi, he would have destroyed anybody on Hagler's list besides Leonard and Hearns, and maybe Duran.
As for Roy making Hagler look silly, its not personal, he wouldn't make Hearns or Leonard look silly, but Hagler he would have. If a guy is countering you cleanly, making you miss badly, and completely controlling the fight then that is making you look silly. I mean when Roy was at his best he was making James Toney look around for him in the ring becauser he lost him, he was toying with Mike McCallum, old or not nobody else could have done that. He didn't even have to go to the body or throw a jab, he faced decent competition and he walked through it all. Also only a dumb ass would compare Hagler at the end of his career to Roy at the end of his, When did Hagler go up in weight? When was he 36? WHen he did he move up to heavyweight? Roy started his career lower then Hagler and fought a guy like 70 pounds above where he started his career.
