Calzaghe-Hagler?

[Dark Lord Al]

After reading a few but not all of the posts on this thread one thing is very clear.


A lot of posters have only watched one or two of Haglers fights.I am guessing the Hearns fight,SRL fight and maybe the Minter fight coz thats when he won the title.

If you watch Haglers many other fights you will realise that Hagler is not a devestating 1 punch fighter.

He wore his opponents down with lots of good well placed hard shots and kept his power in to the latter rounds.

At times he was also happy to outbox opponents rather than try to stop them


Because of the way he won over Hearns I think some people think he is like a middleweight Tyson.

Marvin only went the distance with Duran , then when alot slower and past his best , Leonard.He koed all his other challengers.
Marvin did have good boxing skills , also he could eat punches and chase a fighter down , something Calzaghe could never do , even againest poor oponants.
Calzaghe is a good fighter for sure , but im sorry i do not accept he could have beaten Marvin , based on the fact he beat a shot Jones , 43 Hopkins , and Kessler.

For the record i have nearly all Marvin Hagler's fights.

If you asked me who has acomplished more in there carrer and is the better all round fighter I would say Hagler.

But as the saying goes " styles make fights" and Calzaghe has the style and skills to beat Hagler.

Hey Porkmiester , i respect your opinion , but i feel that if a guy like Reid can pressure and almost beat a prime Calzaghe , and Byron Mitchell can knock down a prime Calzaghe , i feel a prime Hagler would walk through him.
But hey its all about opinions.

All fighter get knocked down from time to time and have hard fights against lower level fighters.

Calzaghe has all the things that you need to beat Hagler.

1-Speed of hand and foot.

2-Great boxing skills and able to control a fight

3-Great chin


But like you said its all down to opinons.
