Marvin Hagler's chin. How would it hold up to Julian Jackson or Nigel Benn.

[WWatt]

Chris Eubank has the best chin I've ever seen.

Watch Tony Thornton's right hand KO almost all his victims and give him recognition in The Ring in 1987 as the 'next big thing' due to his right hand punch, then watch him land that punch on Eubank and see how Eubank just shrugs it off.. it would of KO'd any other middleweight or super-middleweight in the world. Then watch Joe Calzaghe's left hook KO almost all his victims, amateur and pro, and see Eubank up at the count of one or two with a big grin on his face. Thornton and Calzaghe would land KO punches onto Eubank later in the fight too, violently snapping Eubank's head back only for Eubank to keep shrugging off the effects. Forget about Benn's and Thompson's best bombs.

Who knows?

Hagler never fought anybody who could hit as hard as Benn, or even Jackson. He hasn't fought a KO artist like Jackson either, he even surpasses Hearns in that department.

Benn's the hardest-hitting middleweight ever, as well as the most ferocious fighter ever, and had more snap in his punches than the Sibson's and Mugabi's and threw shots from more angles.. Hagler himself said Benn would be his toughest fight if he hadn't retired!


Benn and Hagler would of been great while it lasted, but Benn's shaky chin would of let him down.

benn didnt hit as hard as hearns or jackson or gerald and eubank didnt have best chin hagler did and that punch calzaghe landed was more of eubank moving backwards not real devastating blow

Benn hit harder than all of them at 160, there's no question about that. Just watch him! Lol.

Hearns and Jackson were better KO artists, not harder punchers.

McClellan had very heavy hands.

When Benn was a middle weight he was an all out slugger.Fighting like this would make it an easy nights work for Hagler.

Hagler could box or slug,ether way he would win.

Benn was 1 of the best British fighters of all time,Hagler is one of the worlds greatest of all time.

Nobody in their right mind would suggest Benn in his prime, of all people, is an easy nights work for ANYBODY.

That's ludicrous.

[LBSCFC]

i think if hagler stood up to the likes of john mugabi who was a murderous one punch hitter then i think he would stand up to the likes of jackson and benns hitting. benn at middleweight though would have been a great fight with hagler winning on a late stoppage

In boxing terms it would be an easy nights work.

Tommy Hearns at 154 or at 160 or at 168....he boxed well, he had good straight punches and he cracked.

Marvin Hagler at 160 better chin, threw more punches, and accumulated power punching....he didn't have the 1 punch power but 4-5-6 shots would hurt someone

but honestly James Toney would EAT NIGEL BENN ALIVE......(literally and figuratively) Benn throws a bit too wide and Toney would have blasted him especially at 168.

[El Kabong]

....oh Ray Leonard and Ray Robinson would have fun whippin Benn too


I think RJJ would have beat him too but I'll leave that alone since you Brits get all up in arms when someone says RJJ would beat: Eubank, Benn, Calzaghe......Ricky Hatton.......Alan Minter.......Tony Blair etc

[WWatt]

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree

Idiots.

Just out of interest,who in the history of boxing would have beaten a prime Nigel Benn in your warped opinion.

Anybody who went in with a prime Nigel Benn with an orthodox defense and without a chin of granite would of been knocked out, unless they knocked him out before he knocked them out. Simple as that.

Michael Watson beat him because he opened his gloves and cupped both sides of his forehead, dipped in with those elbows to protect himself from bodyshots and remained upright and very close to Benn to not allow him the full leverage he liked. Watson's tactics were outstandingly brilliant that night, Benn's were unbelievably stupid (punching himself out on Watson's arms and gloves to the point where he would hit the canvas from a jab). Eubank beat him because his chin was made from a piece of granite.
