    Hagler would destroy Benn. Terible style matchup for Benn.
    And this is coming from a guy who said Hagler would of destroyed Herol Graham!

    Graham would of made Hagler look silly, you have to be realistic. Hagler in his so-called 'prime' is very over-rated and not in the same class as the Graham's, Kalambay's or Nunn's. 1977 was his best year, 77-83 Hagler was the **** but beyond that he just faded and faded away and became a face-first brawler.

      I think Hagler peaked a little later than you do, JUYJUY.
      Everything came together for him around the time he beat Minter.
      He was stronger then, than he was in '77, & while still at a point where he was sharp as hell.
      From Minter to Scypion...that was the best Hagler. A complete fighter.

        Are you talking about the 160lb Benn who was dropped by Doug DeWitt ?

          "And this is coming from a guy who said Hagler would of destroyed Herol Graham! "

          The Hagler who destroyed Tony Sibson would indeed have smoked Herol Graham.....any herol Graham.

          You're stroking a guy who never a world title....who came up short when it counted most....& doing so against one of the absolute best fighters of the last 25 years.
          O.K., I'm the idiot here.

          No version of Hagler....spends a night in the hospital after facing Julian Jackson. No version of Hagler loses a decision to Mike McCallum, in say- Boston.
