Hopkins vs. Hagler at 160

I think Hagler in his prime could outbox or out punch Hopkins. But they fought different guys so it is hard to compare. Hopkins fought against a light heavyweight in Antonio Tarver...i dont see Hagler taking down a guy like Tarver...or Tito :boxing:

I think Hopkins would win a close decision. Hagler being a brawler is all wrong, the guy could box. That being said, Hopkins has the advantage in the boxing catergory and i think he would use it to outsmart and outbox Hagler.

I think Hagler in his prime could outbox or out punch Hopkins. But they fought different guys so it is hard to compare.

are you stupid? Hagler took the 6'1 78 reach Hearns out with ease and took his best punch. He'd crush tito. Hagler was a physical beast his reach was 75. I don't think Tito could come close to hurting Hagler at MW. Even with his hook. what a fool you are! to say that Tito could not hurt Hagler is stupid. and Hearns with his weak chin would get KOed by Trinidad...

I see the "Hagler was a brawler" myth still persists. I wonder if years from now people will watch Mayweather-Judah and Mayweather-Mosley and say "Mayweather was a walk-you-down-behind-the-high-guard type fighter" since he did that in a couple fights.

:bs2: Hagler crushing Tito? ...hahahaha thats funny man. Hagler is just a brawler Hopkins is way to good in boxing for him are you stupid?

Yeah. If you ask me hagler lost a bit of himself that night. just imagine how much he would have lost if he fought the Tito that demolished Vargas and Joppy. :guilty: poor Hagler... Tito"s chin would be his downfall. He could even make it 12 with defensive minded Hopkins. Hagler knocks Tito out. Tito might buzz Hagler if hes lucky. Calling Hagler a brawler is like calling Tito a brawler. We both know they where boxer punchers. Tito had a good chin. i think you didn't watch that fight. his father threw the towel, but Tito was already on his feet and could've ended the rest of the 12 and lose by UD

:pat: i could say the same as you: Hagler fanboys that think that he could walk all over Felix give the rest of his fanbase a bad name. :slap: of course i've seen Hagler fight. and it doesnt matter that Hagler was biggger, cause Trinidad knocked out men bigger than him in his prime. Hagler had a bad defense and was slower than Tito. Sugar Ray exposed him as a 1 dimensional brawler. in a 12 round fight Hagler cant beat Tito. though it would be closer in a 15 round fight... Tito"s chin would be his downfall. He could even make it 12 with defensive minded Hopkins. Hagler knocks Tito out. Tito might buzz Hagler if hes lucky.

Just the sound of Mugabi's punches send chills down my spine. Hagler to me is the perfect definition of a monster. Yeah. If you ask me hagler lost a bit of himself that night.

Man Mugabi could crack. I wish him and Hearns fought at 154 in their prime years. Just the sound of Mugabi's punches send chills down my spine. Hagler to me is the perfect definition of a monster.

Hagler walked through harder punchers in Mugabi and Hearns, be real now. Man Mugabi could crack. I wish him and Hearns fought at 154 in their prime years.

You've never seen Hagler fight have you? You give Tito fans a bad name. You shouldn't comment on match-ups when you haven't seen both guys fight boy. Hagler is naturally bigger and stronger than Tito. Tito would put in a spirited effort and would be stopped in less than 8. :pat: i could say the same as you: Hagler fanboys that think that he could walk all over Felix give the rest of his fanbase a bad name. :slap: of course i've seen Hagler fight. and it doesnt matter that Hagler was biggger, cause Trinidad knocked out men bigger than him in his prime.

Wouldn't the more offensive Bhop open him self up to more counters. If he goes to war with Hagler I think hes in trouble. Bhop has good defense but he can be caught. Hagler was a very accurate boxer-puncher. But I can see a legitimate argument for Hopkins winning as well. If Hopkins gets caught once or twice in the fight so what? He has an ATG chin to fall back on.

The Hopkins who beat Glenn Johnson to a pulp was just as defensive as the one who beat Trinidad man. The only difference is the young Hopkins would pummel you and be defensive rather than pot shot you and be defensive, watch his old fights and you will notice his defense was just as good then, the only difference is he would look to stop his opponents rather than win Uds.

Dude. Hagler crushes Tito. I believes he edges Hopkins in a close fight. :bs2: Hagler crushing Tito? ...hahahaha thats funny man. Hagler is just a brawler Hopkins is way to good in boxing for him

Which Hopkins are we taking about anyway? The more offensive one the beat Glen Johnson or the defensive whiz that beat Tito?

bernard hopkins would surpise many by roughing up the great marvin hagler and take him out of his game and i think bernard can out box hagler I don't think any MW can rough up Hagler. Hes not fighting Tito or Winky in there. Hagler can be physical or he can box. But if Hopkins tries to out muscle Hagler than hes in trouble.

hagler better speed than a prime Hopkins? No way. Also you must be kidding about Hagler bombing Hopkins from the outside, when he is a midget in comparison. Which Hopkins are we taking about anyway? The more offensive one that beat Glen Johnson or the defensive whiz that beat Tito?
