    McClellan vs Hagler

    Even though i dislike McClellan and find his condition funny because of his cruelty, I think he was unbelievable fighter and underrated because the thing that happened overshadowed his skill.

    Id pick him over Hagler I think Haglers record fools people he wasnt a big puncher just an accumulation one and you need to be to beat McClellan. Benn only beat him coz of bad weight-drain. McClellan was sloppy after the firsst round.

    Haglers power is evident, when he could only drop Mugabi in the 9th or 10th cant remember. Gerald beat him in the first. IMO Hagler would have to be stopped by ref.

    Good Idea for a fantasy fight..

    Didn't McClellan beat an old, pass prime Mugabi? Anyway, I disagree, I think McClellan would throw his best at Hagler, and Hagler would keep coming, eventually I think McClellan would get tired and discourage, I also think Hagler can do alot of damage to him on the inside and going to body....

      Mugabi was hit by Hagler in the first round, didnt go down. He did from G-man. Not because prime, because punches harder.

        Yeah, but I want know McClellan can take the amount punishment he'll receive from Hagler as the rounds progress..
        I'm almost certain that Hagler can take what the G-Man has to offer, because he has faced some hard hitters..

          Hagler being stopped? The man was never even hurt in his life. Other than one slight pause in his step against Hearns when a right uppercut/left hook connect, i don't remember one time when Hagler was even stunned. I don't see any evidence that shows that Hagler would be stopped.

          McClellan never was a great fighter. Aside from his absolutely huge punch, he was above-average. His skills weren't too impressive.

          Hagler stops him in the middle rounds.

            I agree. I don't think he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Hagler.

              after the war with Hagler mugabi was never the same fighter again. But the winner of a McClellan - Hagler fight would not be the guy who got Mugabi out first. I do not see in McClellan anything Hagler has not faced and beaten.

              Hagler would be have been something like a Nigel Benn, only many many many times better.

              So I go for Hagler by ko in the 7th or 8th.

                  something I would find funny after reading this post would be to find out that you had your "brains", (and I'm using this term loosely) scrambled in a accident! How anyone could think what happened to the G-man is funny is way beyond me!! so I say piss on you!!!!!!

                    I read on his record that he was knocked down, I'm not saying that he was hurt, but did you see this fight, and was he?
