Out of the following middleweight contenders that fell victim to the great marvin hagler, which one is the best. Here is the list.

fulgencio obelmijas
john the beast mugabi
tony sibson
bennie briscoe
juan domingo roldan
wilford scypon

[GEOFFHAYES]

I'd say Bennie Briscoe.

IMO its hamsho, just look at who he beat:
benitez
minter
cycyz
scypon
watts
and a bunch of solid contenders

Put hamsho in the 30's or 60s and he would have been one of those short term champs for sure. Better yet, put him in today's ABC champs era.

Vito Antuofermo had beat Hagler to retain his title, in Haglers 1st bid to win the middleweight championship.

Vito Antuofermo had beat Hagler to retain his title, in Haglers 1st bid to win the middleweight championship.

It was a draw. I thought Hagler beat him, though.

My Pick would be Tony Sibson:

Inspite of losing, I thought he had excellent skills and power. But Hagler was too much.

I'll take John 'the Beast' Mugabi...on nickname alone.

He did give Marvin his toughest fight...

And yeah,I thought Marvin won that Antefermo draw also.

Watch the Mugabi fight. It was one sided. Hagler slipped almost every punch Mugabi threw. It was clearly the Best beating the Beast. Mugabi went into that finght 26-0 with 26KO's, if I'm not mistaken.

I wouldnt say that it was totally one sided

Hgaler at middleweight was better than robinson, ray was too inconsistent. he would win the world title and then lose it. Guys like turpin, lamotta, fullmer, basilio and pender all soundly defeated robinson. When was hagler soundly defeated? Oh yeah he never was, he arguably won his fight with leonard and many believe he was indeed the true winner in the fight against vito antuofermo. Hagler and monzon are the best at middleweight.

I don't recall Hagler getting in any sort of trouble. But it was many years ago when I saw it on TV.
