    Who would win...

    A prime Marvin Hagler vs prime Bernard Hopkins.

    I've watched both, their styles contrast but I think it would make for a great fight! They both have great achievements as middleweight champions, though at 2 different times. What would happen if they clashed?

      Bernard's best wins are over much smaller men - Oscar, Trinidad, Winky etc... He lost to Jones, Taylor and even Calzaghe.

      Marvin Hagler would beat Bernard Hopkins and I'd bet the house on it.

        I would certainly pick Hagler to win, but I would also bet that Hopkins makes him look bad doing it. Who ever looked good fighting Hopkins?

          lol and Hagler's weren't? Leonard Hearns Duran Antuofermo.

          They are very even in terms of skills but B-Hop would use his tremendous size and length advantage and win a unanimous decision

            Antuofermo was a middleweight his entire career.

                Hopkins and hagler have the same reach,plus Hagler beat plenty of bigger guys so your 'tremendous size advantage' point isnt really valid

                  And Leonard and Hearns were giant welters while Hagler was a small middleweight.

                    I give Bernard Hopkins pretty much no chance against Marvin Hagler to be honest.

                    I don't think he stops him though. Wide UD Hagler.
