prime marvin hagler Vs prime Bernard Hopkins

[CHICO_4LIFE]

Hagler could put him out in 2 rounds, maybe 3.

i doubt that he would have knocked hopkins out in 2 or 3 rounds!

[Mr. Violence]

Hagler would win of course. He was the greatest Middleweight of all time.

[Dynamite76]

Hagler in about six or seven rounds.Bernard a great one, but Hagler is another level.

[Super_Lightweight]

hmm

vs Hagler, Hops loses a close UD, 9-7-1 for Hagler in 15 rds

Picking a KO in a fight where both men are tough as nails and have iron chins is pretty thoughtless.

Hagler has an iron chin and we have seen it on display in actual fights...when have we seen this so called iron chin of Bernard Hopkins on display?

Ive never seen it, not saying he has a bad chin but over the last 10 years when have we seen Hopkins get hit nice and hard?

I think it is not wise to predict an early KO of Nard b ut a KO in the mid to late rounds is certainly not thougtless.

hmm you do kind of have a good point there. I was hoping that taylor would test his chin but he never really hit bernard with very flush clean shots.

[TheEvilSaint]

hagler by UD.

One could make the arguemnt that if Bernard Hopkins had such an iron chin why oh why is he so damn reluctant to get hit?

The guy was in 2 razor thin fights in a row and never stepped on the pedal to go all out for the victory...if he had an iron chin why not?

He had a dead man in front of him in the first fight with Taylor and he claims he could have KO'd him 5 seperate times...well if he had this iron chin that he is given credit for why not take a shot or 2 to land the finishing blow?

One could argue that his reluctance to engage inside the ropes is a tell that maybe his chin is not quite as good as advertised.

I think he has a good chin dont get me wrong but dont comapre his chin to Marvin Hagler's. Had Bernard Hopkins engaged in an all out slugfest with Tommy Hearns in the manner that Hagler did I seriously doubt Hopkins would have been the one with his hand raised.

[Easy-E]

Monzon beats Hagler 2 times out of 3.

Hagler was one of the best middleweights of all time. He is ASSURED a place in the top 3 IMO. I would believe Hagler to knock Hopkins out somewhere down the stretch of the fight.

This coming from a HUGE Hagler fan though...

I disagree, but what do u think of hagler vs srr?

Robinson was a very fast, slick fighter who was almost perfect BUT I think Hagler would come close but eventually lose a 15 round split decision.

Robinson would box in spurts, outboxing Hagler, but he'd spend time against the ropes too, trying to stave off Hagler's bodyshots. He'd sometime sooner or later drop to the canvas because of Hagler's devestating punching power. This and the fact that Hagler was a southpaw would create problems for Robinson but He would ultimately lose.
