where's Benvenuti? eh, the Italian in me just wanted to put his name out there

[ßringer]

I really don't understand why people rate Hagler so much higher than Hopkins.

Robinson, Greb, and Monzon I can understand.

Hagler? Not so much.

Hagler was the test at mw for over a decade in a decently strong era. Hopkins didn't have as strong of an era. That's why I rate Marvin higher.

I really don't think there was a whole lot of difference between Hopkins' era and Hagler's era.

Hagler had the likes of Roldan, Hamsho, Sibson, Scypion, and Lee.

Hopkins has the likes of Johnson, Echols, Allen, Lipsey, and Daniels.

Both of them are very comparable, IMO.

Not to mention the fact that they were both largely overlooked and unable to make a real name for themselves until the superstars of their day moved up to fight them.

Hopkins 20 title defenses puts him about Hagler, IMO. But that's just me.

Good thread, BTW ; Middleweights don't get nearly enough credit, IMO.
