Could Marvin Hagler take heavyweight punches?

[MrCanCrusher64]

We all know that Marvin Hagler had an amazing chin and he was a middleweight, Do you think if he was to go against heavyweights with average power like Holyfield he could take their punches? and if he went up against hard punchers like Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis etc? im not sure if he punches from the guys that hit harder then tyson or lewis like foreman and shavers.

110% he could take a punch from a heavyweight

Not a chance lol...a full blown shot from wilder or Joshua would make him dribble on the floor...a 245lb heavyweight hitting a 160lb fighter..what planet are you on if you think he could lol

I can't see him taking full shots from Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis. Maybe some smaller HW's with little to no pop, but even then, a top ten HW will walk through his punches and wear him down.

He would come out of that single fight punch drunk, whether he took the punches standing or was knocked cold. He could take the punches of Johnny Ruiz, but could he take his clinches?

Between a clinch in February and one in July.

What if Hagler weighed more/bulked up to 200 or more?

If he is just bulking up, then probably not so much. I'm sure he could add some resistance by adding strength to his neck and core. But in the end he is only naturally so big, and there is a natural limitation to what he can absorb and resist.

Kind of what I figured too.
