    I think you are undestimating Hagler. See Hagler/Hearns. Jones always had trouble with a decent southpaw and Hagler was very muti dimensional. He could not only counter Jones effectively and take advantage of his defensive flaws( which he had the tools and ability to do) but he could also bring the fight him and make a war out of it. I wonder of you have seen Hagler fight? No disrepect.

      Hagler vs Jones would be one of my top 3 fights I'd ever want to see. Hagler was a beast, even his name sounds like it was made in the trenches, MARVEIN-HAGLER lol that **** is suits him.

      But yeah I'd love to see that fight.

        Hagler would have walked Roy down and eventually connected especially with Roy's rope leaning tactic.

          Hagler at 160, no one at 168 because the division hasn't been around too long, I'd give Ezzard Charles, Archie Moore and perhaps Bob Foster to do well against him at 175.

            I'ts just, It's just, It's just they aren't on his level.
            Holyfield would've crushed Jones, not to disrespect him Evander maybe be a top 10 heavyweight or just outside it.

              Hagler and McClellan had the best shot at Middleweight IMO.

                  Styles make fights at the end of the day. Fighter A gave fighter B problems so theres no way fighter B could beat fighter C. You hear this **** all the time. Theres no way Eubank, past it or prime gets knocked out by Tarver or Glen Johnson so does that mean he beats Jones? No not at all.

                  Its down to opinion. I think Chris would've given him a great fight either way. Its a pity it never happened.
                  There's no way a past his prime Eubank BEATS a Tarver or Glen Johnson so what is your point? We know styles make fights, this is a boxing forum isn't it? Weird.

                  Your opinion is that Chris would've given him a great fight. And if you read what he wrote, that's what he's saying too. Nothing more.

He was truely a beast at middleweight and this guy that he just blew out was no slouch and didn't even come close to being knocked out by big punchers like Iran Barkely ect. Nunn wasn't even known as a puncher..lol but for his handspeed, beautiful movement and ring intelligence.

                    Michael Nunn was a top five p4p'er in his prime. I will say this about Toney, he is one hell of a fighter. He was clearly outmatched against Nunn and knew he needed to KHTFO. He lulled Michael to sleep in the latter part of the fight, round after round, setting him up for that hook. These were BRILLIANT fighters.
