Would Joe Calzaghe beat Marvin Hagler?

Hagler would beat him down...Hagler beat Hearns who was fast and could box and hit like a mule...and he got robbed againts Leonard Hearns did not have the greatest of chins tho did he, Calzaghe has a better chin, and is bigger than Hearns, nuff said.

haggler is a little small for cokezaghe, but haggler would win

The record speaks for itself....Lacy, Bika, Manfredo (not a big win), Kessler, Hopkins, Jones Look, guys he fought are still getting title shots! Bika, Kessler, Hopkins.... The facts speak for themselves.. Lacy= Overrated inexperienced fighter also destroyed by a shot and old Roy Jones Bika= Who? Manfredo= Contender LOSER. Kessler= Eurofighter, average at best Hopkins= Past prime Jones= Wayyy past prime. also the fact that some of these guys are still title contenders tells me two things.... Calzaghe ran into retirement considering he is younger than both BHops and RJJ, The quality of the division is no where near what it may have been

lol at people who really think Hagler could beat the master of slaps.

Calzaghe schools Hagler worse than Willie Munroe did.

honestly, hagler would ko calzaghe

LOL, Thomas Hearns was a frontrunner, the Paul Williams of that day. Thats Funny, your comparing Hearns to Williams?..neither of them are or were front runners..The only thing they have in common is that there both tall fighters, Hearns would put a beating on Calazaghe as well.

Hagler would beat him down...Hagler beat Hearns who was fast and could box and hit like a mule...and he got robbed againts Leonard LOL, Thomas Hearns was a frontrunner, the Paul Williams of that day. Since ur a Calzaghe fan, this comes to no surprise. I wasn't a Calzaghe fan back then, I criticized his ability and punching technique. But history judges differently. Of course your neglecting to take into consideration Calzaghes abject cowardice....he wouldve ran a mile from Hagler like he did everyone in his own time. Cant believe some of the stuff Ive read in this thread about Calzaghe, **** like...he had a great chin...when he was dropped by a older Hopkins and shot Jones and Byron Mitchell (whom he totally lucked out against) he hasnt fought anyone of note at all, his whole career is a farce. Well Calzaghe took a while to get his career going but what he did in the last few years was a pretty good run. Hopkins only put him down first of all by running away the whole fight, and then on that right hand was more of a push. Also, Roy Jones was pretty well-hyped for the Calzaghe fight then....everybody on here was saying Jones would KO Calzaghe... The record speaks for itself....Lacy, Bika, Manfredo (not a big win), Kessler, Hopkins, Jones 46 have tried, 46 all had a gameplan and failed. Look, guys he fought are still getting title shots! Bika, Kessler, Hopkins....

Hagler would beat him down...Hagler beat Hearns who was fast and could box and hit like a mule...and he got robbed againts Leonard

Come on now! Joe Calzaghe has one of the best chins in all of boxing. Leonard beat Hagler, I could care less about the intangibles....in boxing, winning is winning. And Joe Calzaghe knows how to do that. Since ur a Calzaghe fan, this comes to no surprise.

Calzaghe would have beaten Hagler on pts in one hell of a fight.

That's not a fact - rather, a rumour. Leonard only had one bout in 5 years and if anything, Leonard was the fighter who was past prime. So I love cock. Oh, Do u now?

I think he would. Think about it....Hagler first of all had a hard time with Vito Antuofermo, and couldn't take the title from him the first time. Vito is a natural 147 or 154 pound fighter, much smaller than Hagler. I know, Marvin Hagler switched up styles after that fight, but if Hagler tried to brawl with Calzaghe he'd have an even harder time? Also, Calzaghe is a much bigger sized fighter than Leonard, who beat Hagler too. Calzaghe is fast and he's very good defensively. Of course your neglecting to take into consideration Calzaghes abject cowardice....he wouldve ran a mile from Hagler like he did everyone in his own time. Cant believe some of the stuff Ive read in this thread about Calzaghe, **** like...he had a great chin...when he was dropped by a older Hopkins and shot Jones and Byron Mitchell (whom he totally lucked out against) he hasnt fought anyone of note at all, his whole career is a farce.

calzaghe would ud him at 168

Easy work for Hagler....l

personally I would say no. some of Haglers best performances were against fellow southpaws, such as his win over lineal champ Alan Minter and his two wins over the very good Mustafa Hamsho. his right hook in particular was a very useful punch for him against southpaws, especially because he could counter with it well when opponents came forward(which would be very useful against someone like Calzaghe). I dont think Calzaghe's height would be a big deal either, seeing as Hagler dominated a 6'1 Fulgecio Obelmejias twice, who went on to become a world champ at super middleweight. anyone seen Calzaghe fight another southpaw in the pros, btw?

At 168 Calzaghe would win. Hagler is the same size of small Middleweights today or Light Middleweights.

Really? Cause Andre Ward had a MUCH easier time with Kessler than Calzaghe did. Really, if you watch Ward and Calzaghe in the ring against similar opponents its not hard to see Ward is the better fighter, though he hasnt earned all of his stripes yet. And the short answer to your question is no. If you mean Old Hagler, or Green Hagler, against a Calzaghe at the top of his game, maybe. Though Calzaghe is no Leonard. But prime for prime? No way, Hagler mops him. Calzaghe fought Kessler when he was undefeated..... much different. Calzaghe took who Marvin Hagler personally called P4P top 5 at the time (Jeff Lacy) and absolutely destroyed him. There is no doubt in my mind Calzaghe beats Marvin HAgler. Marvin's a good ifghter but people always love to overrate past fighters.

I cant believe some of the responses. MY Money is with Marvin Hagler to put it simply.
