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

    Ive been thinking about this fight for a couple of years now (since I found out Hagler beat Roys Dad up) and was thinking how good a fight it would have been. Both were seemingly invincible in their primes (although Roy probably peaked in the SMW and LHW divisions so it will have to be considered a p4p fight). They both had an amazing ability to fight out of either Orthodox or southpaw stances (though Roy was natural O and Hagler natural S), and though Roy IMO was the better all round BOXER I think that Hagler was the more blood and guts type fighter of the two and had a better chin.

    My vote would be for a Jones decision victory but I would have loved to have seen them in their primes against each other.

    Hagler too much pressure to much chin and heart.

    The Hagler of 78-83 would knock Jones out the Hagler that fought Hearns and Leonard would lose a close dec to Roy.

    But also too slow.

    Roy would make it a stinkfest and take the decision.

    Another thing I forgot to mention was Haglers tendency to cut up and Roys sublime accuracy. I see these being 2 major factors that could cause the fight to be stopped on cuts.

    I take it you have never seen a prime Hagler just watch him in 1980.

    Hagler was not prime against Hearns or Leonard.

    Of the famous 4 Hagler would have probably had the best chance vs Jones . Hagler was great and cutting the ring down and making it his type of fight.

    Ray was over the hill and moving up in weight when he outboxed Hagler so I think prime Roy would have done a similar job atleast

    Thats what I was getting at. Its all relative, Jones has made some quick guys look very slow.

    And of the Fab 4, I would give the best shot at Jones to Hearns. Hearns/Jones would be a toss up, I like Jones' speed and ring generalship but Hearns was obviously very quick and very powerful.

    Hagler had much better footwork and was alwas on his toes.

    Hagler too slow - you can tell the people that only have knowledge of the SRL fight.

    Just my opinion but Hagler would have blistered his ass and frankly I think Hearns would too. Leonard in his prime was a lot smaller than Jones (who dominated at 168-75) so I think Leonard would have been overwhelmed.

    I think if it was over 12 rounds RJJ would stand a slim chance but over 15 its a stoppage win for Hagler.


    Hagler colud do it all,box,punch fight goiing forward or box on the back foot.

    Sooner or later he would get to Jones then that would be the start of the end.

    Hard choice...I will say this much...As good as Roy was at 160 and 168 he would not have had his way with Marvin like he did James Toney....Jones has some size over Hagler but in the end it would come down to the fact on who was able to keep thier fight plan

    I think alot of people forgetting how great Hagler was last 70s early 80s.
