Why even mention Griffith, Tiger Jones, Fullmer, Walker, Jones, Toney, McCallum? All weren't devavstating punchers.

John Mugabe, Benny Briscoe, Tommy Hearns, Juan Roldan and Fully Obelmejias had 228 KO's between them and nobody came close, so I very much doubt it.
The punch that Bob Foster ko'd **** Tiger with, the punch that Julian Jackson ko'd Herol Graham with, or the punch Ray Robinson ko'd Gene Fullmer with is what would be need to be delivered, ie - the sort of punch you only get treated to on very rare occasions, because I don't see any kind of pressure fighter at 160 landing enough concussive blows to force a stoppage either.. Ray Leonard had Marvin's head going like a speed ball but it just made him more tenacious.. SRR, Harry Greb, Ezzard Charles, Michael Spinks, Carlos Monzon, Gene Tunney and Bob Foster would all have probably beaten him, but out of all those greats, i'd only give Foster a good chance of stopping Hagler..

McClellan, Jackson, Jones Jr., Robinson...there are a couple who COULD do it, but I wouldn't give any of them even 5:1 odds to. Hagler was really, really tough.
