Re: Why Marvin Hagler Is The Best Middleweight Of All Time.
That really would have been a great fight,one of them would have had to stop trying to outclever the other and really let it go.Originally Posted by The Grinch
Anyway. Great read.
prime Hagler v Hopkins would have been a Classic.
As much as Im a fan of Hopkins,I think Hagler would have let his hands go first.
Neither one of them would have gone down,but I think Hagler's early work would have taken it.

It's also a certainty that whoever lost would bitch about the decision for the next 30 years or so tooThat really would have been a great fight,one of them would have had to stop trying to outclever the other and really let it go.

Re: Why Marvin Hagler Is The Best Middleweight Of All Time.
Its interesting because we've seen two versions of Hopkins. 1 version was ferocious like Hagler, with better defense, but less power. Then the second version was an old slickster who knew how to do anything to win a fight, but more importantly nobody ever really nullified Hagler's offensive arsenal, while I don't think I've seen anybody including RJJ, Pavlik, Trinidad, De La Hoya, and Calzaghe be effective offensively against Hopkins.
Anyways sorry for bringing him up, Its just I would have loved to have seen them battle out the middleweights supremecy.

No need to appologise mate. Your so right about the evident clash of styles.

Re: Why Marvin Hagler Is The Best Middleweight Of All Time.
SRR was at his best at Welter, so was SRL.
Hagler probably was the greatest middleweight.

Dare I introduce Floyd Mayweather Jr into the best welterweight? I have to. I think he would beat SRL but Im not sure about SRR. What do you guys think?

Re: Why Marvin Hagler Is The Best Middleweight Of All Time.
He only really had 3 fights at WW, so it's difficult to rate him in that division

Hagler would have chewed B-Hop up and spat out the pieces. Hopkins was a very very good fighter indeed, but he would certainly not have intimidated Marvin with all his trash talk.
He would not have been able to scuffle his way to victory, which would be his best chance of nicking the decision.
Hagler was a great great fighter indeed.

You can't because he never proved against enough top quality WW's. I think Leonard beats Floyd at WW, and even if not, Floyd never beat a true great, natural WW in his prime. Leonard beat Benitez, Duran, and Hearns. That tops Oscar, Judah, and Baldomir. Hatton I don't count as a WW because he's really a LWW.
It's like calling Roy Jones the best MW. He just didn't stay there long enough.
