    Hopkins is nothing compared to Hagler either. Because Hagler is even smarter and more adaptable than Hopkins. He can fight in more styles. He is faster. He hits harder. He has better chin. He has better stamina. He has a way better jab. He fight southpaw or orthodox. And the list goes on.

      You are right Hagler is perfect, and todays fighters are ****, my mistake, he would KO all of todays fighters in one round.

        You just have no idea what your talking about. You have not seen probably any Hagler fights except the one with Hearns. Your knowledge of boxing probably begins with Felix Trinidad and ends with Miguell Cotto. In any event I forgive you for your ignorance this time. Just dont do it again.

          Today's fighters are fine. They are just not the greatest ever middleweight. There can only be only one greatest ever middleweight and he is from 80's and that is Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Only one person can be the greatest ever. There is no shame in being #3 or #4.

            HEY PRETENDER, this post was to wish Marvelous Marvin a HAPPY B-DAY, not to argue about meaningless Hagler/Hopkins/Jones fantasy match-ups, quit being such a geek and pay attention

                    One other thing about Hagler he made 11 successfull defences of the Undisputed Middleweight title. I believe that is still the record for most defences of the Undisputed Middleweight title but I could be wrong. And 10 of the 11 succussfull defences were by KO, only Duran went the distance.

                      the reason hagler is looked upon so highly is the fact that he fought at a time when there where many great fighters at his weight, just like ali did, so other great boxers through no fault of their own are not given the same respect beause they didn't face the same intense compition
