i cant think of a single middleweight that could knock down or even hurt hagler badly. Could he even take punches of hard hitting HWs do you think, like liston, foreman or tyson and possibly go the distance?(still as a middlweight) or is the HW devision a different realm?

go to 45 seconds and watch Hagler getting hurt and sqauring up then having to hold on....however he obviously adjusted extremely well
asking if a heavyweight could hurt Hagler is ridiculous

"Hurt" is being used pretty loosely here to be fair, 8 seconds later he goes back to kicking ass as normal.

the difference in power from hearns and liston is immense but there were a couple of guys that survived listons punches and i think hagler had a HW chin and could well be equal to those guys, hearns hit him with devasting punches and his head dint move. His head was a bowling ball........ but on the other hand, foreman or shavers could probably crack a bowling ball

Hagler did not take the bait when micheal spinks challanged him so I think he was concerned about taking a larger mans punches.

Look at people like Dick Tiger who had great chins at MW, then he faced Foster.
