once again... what if: Hagler vs. Calzaghe @ 168?

[ACHlLLES]

How about a draw

[Easy-E]

Hagler was a beast and would throw more punches than Joe, and Hagler punche harder. Hagler had good speed and a great chin.
I dont know how well his power would carry to 168 but I would pick him to stop Joe.

Hagler walks through Calzaghe LOL
Marvin could not walkthrough Duran
who started at 122.

Marvin shoulda walked through him. He gave Duran way too much respect in that fight.

"Duran started at 122". That is such a lame argument. He was an incredibly effective and an elite fighter right up to MW.

Marvin Hagler has to be one of the most overrated fighters ever
even a washed up Ray Leonard humuliated him over 12 rounds.

Hagler would get crushed by Calzaghe or Hopkins
**** id even give Pavlik and Taylor a good chance of beating him.

has anyone ever seen Calzaghe fight a fellow southpaw? I havent. so who knows how he would do against Hagler?

this is Hagler against a southpaw...the champion at the time, Alan Minter.

Read it four times a day and it might learn something
just give it some time to sink in.

????did you even watch the fight???it was a close fight that many feel marvin won...stop trolling every thread and learn some boxing history

[Zocalo]

Hagler by stoppage...

[Thread Stealer]

The main question is how Hagler deals with the size. Calzaghe would be a light-heavyweight during Hagler's prime, due to different weigh-in rules.

Calzaghe is a very good fighter, but Hagler was superior. Hagler was one of the more versatile and complete fighters you'll ever see. However, he was a middleweight, and not a very big one either. You don't know how a guy will perform after jumping up in weight. And Calzaghe is not some scrub 168/175 fighte
