He gave Hagler a hell fight when they were in the ring. But he fell short due to being a smaller fighter. But if Duran was a natural Middleweights would he had beaten Hagler?
meh :dunno:
every loser has an excuse
He does have a point. It's in a HBO feature I remember and in the movie Hands of Stone, his manager apparently signed a rematch while Duran was partying hard and getting fat.
Duran broke his right hand durng round five of their fight. Who knows what the outcome may have been if he had two healthy hands for 15 rounds.
The thing with Hagler was if he was out boxing you as he did with Duran he will just cruise that's why he has a lot of soft wins, if you try to KO Marvin he turned into an animal that was indestructible.
If Duran was a MW he would go after Marvin so I lean to Marvin in that scenario.
But who know both great fighters
Duran was a natural lightweight and he is considered by many as the best lightweight in history. If he was born a natural middleweight he probably would have been the best middleweight in history and defeated Hagler who was an all time great middleweight himself.
If Duran had been a natural MWT, he would have been banned from fighting because he would have killed like 10 guys in the ring.
Love Hagler, but Duran is easily higher on almost everyone's P4P lost.
Hagler has a real sketchy resume. I sometimes have a hard time putting him over Floyd and Jones
