Could Prime Hagler...

[jayrichardse]

yes he could

[ghostdancer]

hagler in his prime was the perfect middleweight in every way

Bump....
I want JUYJUY's opinion.

Yea, ever seen Hagler vs. Minter? Minter gets in some good shots, though Hagler took them like it was nothing and cut up Minter's face good.

I would have loved to see Hagler vs. Robinson at middleweight.

I think if Julian got the right punch in the right spot, he could have decked Ali . . . well, maybe. I certainly think he could have dropped anyone who ever competed at jr. middle or middle if he had connected with full power.

However, the embodiment of Hagler's ability to take a punch was that upper cut he absorbed from Mugabi. Tilting your own head backwards would make you giddy for a few seconds at least. How could his skull take the trauma of such a shot?

I would have thought that Julian Jackson would stand as good a chance of any one at middleweight. But Hagler was so solid.

I couldn't agree more! Hagler-Best chin ever. I saw every title fight and 1/3 of his pre-title fights-Never wobbled, hurt, staggered. If the fighters during his time had 1 thing in common, they could punch. Jackson would have never gotten a chance to land onr-Caveman Lee anyone?

Yes, Yes, Yes. He took Hearns best shot and I gotta think Hearns hits as hard as Jackson!

[supaduck]

Hagler could take it. He's got a steel chin. But it would rattle him like no punch he ever felt before. Jackson's power is frightening.

Jackson hit way harder than Hearns.

[Pugnacious_Z]

jackson had a punch of a heavyweight in a middleweight body, it was straight out devastating, now imagine he landed one on you in a street brawl, DAMMMM

[supaduck]

He could hit harder than most heavyweights. Pound for pound all of them (except possibly Foreman).
