Manny Pacquiao Or Marvin Hagler. Who's Greater?

He WAS a great fighter. He was not when he fought Pacquiao. Neither was Delahoya. That's like saying Muhammad Ali was still a great fighter when he lost to Holmes. Or Chavez was still great when he lost to Tszyu. And none of those fighters match up to Hearns, Duran, or Leonard at the time Hagler fought them. Not to mention that Hagler fought everybody that mattered in his division. All of the top fighters. He didn't pick and choose based on styles, height.....Originally posted by Red October;7898019[B]morales is still a great fighter.[/B]
just because he was past it doesn't mean it doesn't count.
delahoya is a great fighter too. marquez can be classified as a great fighter as well depending on how you define great.Comment

definitely, errybody gets hurt in boxing at some point. mugabi had some shining moments too. mugabi was a beast, literally!!!!He must have been hurt a few times in his career. I think against Hearns its difficult to tell if he was genuinly hurt. He was caught by a big uppercut and looked to grab Hearns for a moment, but then seemed fine.
He has said he wasnt hurt. The commentators obviously thought he was.
Amazing how he took those shots.Comment

he was still one of the top guys at 130.He WAS a great fighter. He was not when he fought Pacquaio. Neither ewas Delahoya. That's like saying Muhammad Ali was still a great fighter when he lost to Holmes. Or Chavez was still great when he lost to Tszyu. And none of those fighters match up to Hearns, Duran, or Leonard at the time Hagler fought them. Not to mention that Hagler fought everybody that mattered. in his division. all of the top fighters. He didn't pick and choose.
he was past his best but he wasn't shot until the 3rd fight.
people forget morales was winning the beginning of the 2nd fight until he got worn down and his corner started massaging his legs.Comment

Did you forget that Morales lost his previous fight to Zahir Raheem before the rematch with Pacquiao?Comment

U have to take into consideration Pac moved up many weights to fight them.He WAS a great fighter. He was not when he fought Pacquiao. Neither was Delahoya. That's like saying Muhammad Ali was still a great fighter when he lost to Holmes. Or Chavez was still great when he lost to Tszyu. And none of those fighters match up to Hearns, Duran, or Leonard at the time Hagler fought them. Not to mention that Hagler fought everybody that mattered in his division. All of the top fighters.

Oscar was shot, but i dont believe Barrera, Morales, JMM, Hatton, or Cotto were.
In all those fights Pac was moving up.Comment
