RJJ vs Hagler

[gatorDelux]

Again, I'd pick Roy to defeat Hagler by decision.

Just don't like the goofball opinions of SCtrojan in this thread.

no one does.

Did you even see that fight? I don't know anybody who believes that fight was a draw. It was so clear Hagler won that Mills Lane was prepared to raise his hand at the end of the fight. And how was his "gameplan" bad in the other two fights?

I definitely thought Hagler beat Antuofermo but the only reason it was close was Hagler' fighting ******. Against Duran(who was pretty much featherfisted at middleweight) Hagler should have mauled him and instead was trying to time him with big punches and was made to look very bad at times.

dont tell barkley that duran was feather fisted at 160....

and eveyone looks feather fisted against hag.

SC...

You gonna discuss 1993 Hopkins being stronger than prime Hagler, or what?

[Mr. Invincible]

hagler is a bigger puncher than hopkins and is better at fighting a swarming fight....

big and fast arent everything...

Hopkins @ 160 prime was crafty, fast and had underrated power. When he used to open up like he did against Glenn Johnson, he was very dangerous.

Roy's win over an ATG is very underrated.

He beats Haggler @ 160, 9 out of 10 times IMO.

Mugabi was telling his corner he wanted to quit by the 5th

Damn. I didnt know that

(and between every round before he quit himself on his haunches late). Everything from there was a sad beating that ruined a young fighter.

He was also involved in a terrible car crash after the Hagler fight, which tore up a lot of his muscles.

I do not remember anything about Mugabi being in a serious car accident. Any details?

I read it in a book called War, Baby. The writer said he was in a bad accident before the Norris fight. I'll post up excerpts from the book tomorrow

[IMDAZED]

Nothing Jones did at 160 suggests he would be equipped to handle Hagler's caliber. Roy would get outboxed.

Yeah beating HOFer Bernard Hopkins and shutting out Castro who is probable as good as anybody Hagler beat besides Hearns
