who wins: Prime Hagler vs. Prime Benn

A prime Hagler ko 2

A complete mismatch, not fair to Benn to put him in with a fighter as good as Hagler.

Hagler breaks him down and stops him in 6.

I think Nigel possibly stops Hagler 2-3 out of 10 fights, based purely on the fact that EVERY man can be stopped, especially against a banger like Nigel. If Hagler underestimates Benn, thats when he gets stopped ala Barkley, McClellan or DeWitt. . I dont even see Benn's best shots stopping Hagler. Stunning him maybe, but not stopping him. Hagler had a good defence. And as champion didnt underestimate anyone. If Hagler chose to KO Benn then i think he would eventually. If he chose to box Benn it could be interesting as Benn was faster and could box decently. I dont see Benns chin holding up for 12.

Great fight. I agree with the guy who said it would be like Benn vs Eubank 1, only more in close with both being wobbled, with Hagler by late stopage. I think Nigel possibly stops Hagler 2-3 out of 10 fights, based purely on the fact that EVERY man can be stopped, especially against a banger like Nigel. If Hagler underestimates Benn, thats when he gets stopped ala Barkley, McClellan or DeWitt. Hagler is also on record saying Nigel is one of the hardest middleweights of all time. He said this after watching Benn smash his cousin Robbie Simms. It would have been a great fight. ps. f%ck Toney being a middleweight great. He was a lazy,slothful lucker who woulda been beaten by both Benn and Eubank. Toney is super hyped at middleweight when he was in fact, boring and very lucky most of the time.

Hagler was a very underrated boxer, and would be able to outbox Benn and possibly stop him late.

id take hagler by decision or late stoppage i think the boxer would beat the brawler in this one,plus hagler is tough as hell benn would make it a good scrap but i dont think he has enough advantages to take this one

I wonder who voted for Benn by KO... LOL. no offense, Benn is a good fighter, but KO'ing Hagler, is a bit too much to ask. On the otherhand, in boxing anything can happen. i was wondering the same thing haha benn is good..but KOing arguably the best p4p chin of all time?

Nigel Benn was a BEAST, don't underestimate him. Maybe 8/10 times, Hagler would win majorly, but I think 1-2 times out of the ten, Hagler would be knocked. So most days Hagler would outbox and even stop Benn, but it all comes down to the day. We can talk and talk, but what happens in the ring, is what've happened.

Haggler is not on techinically better but also has better intangibles, Haggler is a different class and level to benn at middleweight, the only people you could truly compare to haggler at middleweight head 2 head are hopkins, ortiz, ray robinson, roy jones, james toney, maybe 2 or 3 others hagler vs. prime jones wouldve been interesting

Hagler KO early, like he did to everyone in his prime.

Hagler would outbox Benn and stop him in the mid to late rounds.

Hagler wins this one Benn was good but Hagler was an ATG how does he win? is it a KO and if so, what round?

anyone????
