Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Hagler Would Have Too Much For Golovkin

[joseph5620]

bullsheet. haglers biggest fights were against LW,WW, JM M Spinks begged him to move up he never did. Juan Roldan was killing hagler and he had to thumb roldan in the eye badly forcing him to quit. mugabi a smaller fighter while losing ended took a lot out of haggler and after Loenard saw that he agreed to fight hagler

A history revisionist who can't spell correctly to save his life.

... But what about Kunta Kinte? Wouldn't have Kunta Kinte destroyed GGG as well?

This account needs to be banned!!! And his personal info should be given up. But ban this bum

It's crazy to even compare Little G to Hagler, he's not on that level.

No surprise here. Lewis likes to devalue guys getting a lot of hype because he isn't getting enough attention anymore. He's kind of a baby. A giant baby. But still a baby.

Interesting. When Lennox says it, it seems legit, but if Nate Campbell says, it's absurd! lol

Gotta love denial. Just wait until Tyson agrees too. GGG fans will start bringing up Bhop... Oh wait...they have!

I agree with Lennox. Much as I like GGG, at this point in time I see Hagler being far the better boxer and fighter. I was in awe of Hagler as he was building up his reputation and then to see him confirm his status as a "monster" with his career defining fights was amazing.
Given the current fighters on the scene the fights that I'd like to see GGG make to start confirming his "monster" status are Canelo, Lara and Andrade both coming up to 160 to challenge, Quillen, Froch coming out of retirement, De Gale, Andre Dirrell, and Ward (if he can make 168). That's eight fights - win 7 or more of those and then I'll probably be on the other side of the argument saying that Golovkin is better than Hagler was.
But I don't see the fights happening and I don't see Golovkin winning more than 6 of them. Another issue is lack of time for Golovkin and the time needed to put those fights together and properly promote them.

Froch has absolutely nothing to offer against GGG. GGG destroys Froch while simultaneously doing an interview with radio Raheem.

Hagler would bring it. But it would be a Great War. I go with Hagler.

hagler was held to a draw by Vito Antuofermo and beat by bugaloo bobby watts and willie munroe not to mention SRL

True, but Hagler got screwed on the scoring more than once. I cannot remember the particulars, but if I remember correctly, Hagler's management contacted at least one member of Congress because of the way Marvin's career was being jerked around by the boxing powers that be. Yes, Marvin was being given the red headed stepchild treatment. In addition, SRL was the '76 Olympic champion and the 'Golden Boy' of his generation. Believe me, what Hagler got, Hagler earned. It would be interesting to see just what Marvin could have achieved if he had received the Sugar Ray Leonard treatment throughout his career.

Hagler would make GGG back up before being stopped. Marvin did not play. I doubt GGG can defend as many times as Hagler or Bhop.
