Say if it was Hagler on the receiving end of those left hooks that Foster threw against Tiger and Quarry would Hagler have been able to get up?? Personally I don't think he would. Those punches were damn devastating

Could Bob Foster one punch KO Marvin Hagler?

if he landed flush and he didn't see it? yes. In a fight? I see Hagler surviving even if he goes down.
Hagler sparred with heavyweights and walked through helacious punchers at 160. Foster could wobble him or drop him, but not only does Hagler have a rock solid chin, he's got heart and conditioning to boot. Also, at 175 he'd be thicker and heavier which does add a bit to your resistance.

Hagler took that evil uppercut that John "The Beast" Mugabe threw that lifted him off the deck. It was a perfectly timed max power shot and Hagler just shookit off like it was nothing. Anyone else would have been decked at best by that shot and most likely sparked out. Hagler had tremendous punch resistance and at 175 he would have been able to take a shot even better.

As for the question, I think it would take a succession of shots. I don't see anyone <180 1PKO'ing Hagler. Unless he completely doesn't see it, walks into it and is tired. Hagler's too good for these scenarios to occur though.

It's either that or that famous article where they speak with his trainers (the one that just died). I forget. It's a credible source though.

I think Hagler has one of the best chins in history. But it could have been cracked if he moved up to a division he didn't belong in. Look what happened to Foster when he moved up.
