  • Haglers Chin

    I remember reading in the book Four Kings that Marvin's game plan was to walk through Hearn's Best to land his. Is there any middle weight in history capable of knocking Marvin out?

      Probably not.

      Hagler literally walked thru the bombs of Hearns and barely buckled.. Anything can happen but I hardly doubt someone can stop hagler cold

        I wouldn't pick anyone by KO over Hagler. But if I had to come up with the best candidates it would be after a sustained beating from the rangy Monzon, or Sugar Ray Robinson catching him cold with his amazing timing.

          Some guys just don't get knocked out and Marvin is one of them.. Oliver McCall is the other..

            Top 5 all time chin. Top middleweight chin ever. Faced bigger hitters than any of them. Arguably has the top middleweight roster of all time for quality too.

              Monzon had a great chin too. He was only decked once in 100 fights.

              What a war Hagler vs Monzon would have been! Arguably the two best MWs ever, and their careers almost, but not quite, coincided.

              Damn!

                Hagler's could take a rap, no doubt about it. But IMO Roldan put him down with a punch and Hearns wobbled him in that opening round, lucky for Marvin that Hearns broke his famous right hand in the first round.. Marvin also never fought many big punchers, he always looked to fight smaller weight fighters at championship level.. would his chin have stood up to Julian Jackson or Gerald McClellan's bombs?..what about Roy Jones or James Toney's punch power at 160

                  Hearns did hurt him with that right hand off the ropes tho. Hagler handled it damn well but it def rocked him.

                    I agee Marvin wobbled but even though tommy hurt his right he kept throwing people also need to be reminded that Duran went 10 rd's with a broken hand on Marvins scull as well.
