Would this version of Canelo beat a prime Marvin Haggler?

[JakeTheBoxer]

This is where we overrate fighters from previous eras, Canelo beats him pretty easily.

Wow, you must rate Callum Smith, Plant and Saunders very high. because Canelo dominating them makes you think Canelo stands a chance against the best middleweight ever lol.

Similar to GGG vs Canelo but I think Marvin would perform better than GGG.

Canelo has far better head movement as Hagler was as stiff as a iron robot he would throw wild shots leaving himself completely opened to Canelo counters.

Hagler was a wild brawler on occasions soon as the bell went in the first round he would come out swinging that style is PERFECT for Canelo.

Hagler was a machine tho had unlimited stamina and was tough as concrete i just think Canelo feints and head movement would be to much for Hagler to handle and he would be countered to death.

Canelo by a easy decision.

Anyone else SERIOUSLY doubt this guy has ever watched Hagler fight?

[The Viper]

Yeah I think this is a solid post.

These guys don’t understand that Marvin went on the road and beat the best guys in every city.

His resume is filled with really tough solid fighters that posters don’t know.

Canelo is a great fighter but I agree Hagler would dominate him. That is no knock on Canelo.

you do realize marvin lost to lesser fighters than canelo right? I mean he did hit his peak and went on a great run, but he's not invinscible from a boxing perspective......he could be out boxed that's not impossible......

[BodyBagz]

No
Hagler never was one to retreat and prey to hear the final bell. His chin and body were iron covered with steel. Never any gas problems.
Hagler makes Nelo rethink coming forward and Nelo hopes to win the fight moving around.

People overrate the past and underrate the present. I think it’d be a 50/50 fight.

[earl_grey]

I think Hagler puts a bit of a beating on him, but it goes the distance. Canelo has one rock solid chin but he’s not beating Hagler in my book.

Marvin didn’t really lose though, that’s the thing. Yea, he has official losses on his record but these were more “political” decisions by local judges than they were clear defeats. They were also very early in his career.

I don’t think taking what I said to the extreme right and arguing back makes much sense. Obviously no man is invincible. That said, if you know about Marvin’s career than you should know he won these fights against the top guys from these cities, in their hometown, with their promoters handling the judges and refs.

Canelo isn’t good enough to outbox Hagler. That isn’t a knock on Canelo. He is great. But nothing I have seen makes me think he’d beat Marvin Hagler.

[Lomadeaux]

Hagler murders him. Are you serious?
