Benitez/Hagler

[Thread Stealer]

Hagler would be more aggressive than usual against the smaller Benitez. Benitez could be real effective when he went to the ropes but I have a feeling he'd take quite a beating, particularly to the body, if he did this against Hagler.

Benitez may have some moderate success at times but I doubt he sees the final bell.

Hagler over Benitez everyday of the week, Benitez would have his moments and frustrate early but Haglers strength and power would take over, Hagler Stops him.

Hmmmmm Norris vs Benitez now theres a cracking fight! Tough call, I automatically want to say Benitez but thinking of styles and how good a prime Norris was its not so clear. I'll have to think about that one, will post bk later

I figured some would think Benitez could trouble Hagler and make it an ugly fight,but I really can't argue with the final conclusions.

How would the Same Benitez who fought Duran and Hearns do against the best version of Terry Norris? Would Norris also over power Wilfred with his speed and strength, or was Benitez just to good?

Two of my favourites and as much as I love Terry Norris, like Wild Blue Yonda said, Terry has never seen anything like a peak Benitez.

Benitez wide UD.

It's arguable that 1982 Marvin Hagler would beat any middleweight ever. Benitez would definitely be competitive, but Hagler beats him.

Benitez had the skills to give Hagler troubles but 160 was too big for him and he would have failed badly because of that.
