          Seems like Ray Robinson had more power than Marvin Hagler, according to the polls.

            Or better technique to get the punch accurately to its target.

            Your logic means that Mayweather is more powerful than Kostya Tszyu.

              So you think Robinson stops Leonard as well I assume? And your talking as if Hagler wasn't a accurate puncher. He had a very good technique, ask Hearns.

                I voted decision.

                I'm just saying the logic you are using isn't the best.

                  Yeah but your arguement gives away because Hagler didn't just have power but he was technically sound as a boxer, a boxer-puncher. Watch his second fight with Antuofermo onwards till the end of his career.

                  Obviously SRR was better technically but Hagler was a very good boxer too and he had the power with it, not a one hit wonder.

                    Nobody said Hagler couldn't box. Accuracy does count though. Maybe the improvement in accuracy from Hagler to Robinson is the ingredient needed to KO Leonard.

                    That being said, Leonard didn't get KO'd until he was way passed it, so I voted for Robinson UD.
