who wins Hagler v Calzaghe at catch weight 164lbs ? it sounds a bit crazy when u first think about it but we are all for comparing Hopkins to Hagler so why not Calzaghe

over 12 rounds ?

Over 15 rounds ?

You aren't outboxing a prime hagler and you DEFINITELY aren't outpunching him Hagler by UD since Cal has an iron chin. He was bigger then Hagler as well but once Hagler took it to the inside it would be a long night for the Italian Dragon.

Hagler by decision.

Here's Hagler vs Alan Minter.

This is not to insult Calzaghe at all. But, Jesus Christ... if you saw Hagler fight, I don't know how you could pick Calzaghe.

Cal has a good chin... Hagler has an IRON chin. I think it's possible Calzaghe could steal a decision over 12 rounds... but, I'd bet on Hagler. Over 15... I think a Hagler knockout.

I wonder what the Brits would throw at Hagler if he won this fight in the UK...

i aint saying Calzaghe would beat Hagler but i feel Hagler is vastly overated personally

strong durable guy yes but he never faced great fighters his own size

Leonard ,Hearns, WW

Duran ,LW

Leonard would have owned Hagler if Hagler had been a natural WW ,I Think its debatable wether he would have beaten Duran at WW ,He struggled badly enough with a blown up Duran who had to alter his game plan because he was fighting so far out of his natural weight division

WHoa... maybe. I don't know though. He's one of the most impressive fighters I have ever seen.

BTW... Hearns was taller than him.

No offense, especially cuz it's not just you, but, I'm not sure if people understand the concept of natural weight... it's not the weight that you came up in or were made famous in.

Hearns and Duran were at their best at lower weights but both went on to have good success at 160 and in Hearns' case even at 175. Hagler is the best middleweight of all time IMO.

And I don't think it was him having trouble with Duran, I think it was him giving Duran too much respect. Hagler could've won that fight much more easily.
