For a start Hagler used to weigh in at what? 157 pounds? So he was a smaller guy by a long way and how would he have dealt with Calzaghe's work rate? By sparking him on the fooking jaw -that's how.
Although he threw more than 1500 punches for one fight, how is Marg's work rate in other fights? I don't think it's as high as Joe's but I could be wrong. I don't follow Marg much.
Hopkins in his prime fought in Ecuador 3000 feet above sea level at a tremendous pace and never looked tired in the slightest infact the guy who looked more tired was the guy who was actually from Ecuador and was obviously more acclimatized to the weather
he also power punched the hell outta Mercado in the second fight for how many rounds and did not look tired infact if it was not for that great conditioning he probably would not be around today still
i think this is why he is still going strong at 40+
