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

[just the facts]

Hagler vs GGG would have been a great fight, but coward Golovkin ducked Marvin by being born 30 years too late.

Now watch all his cock-sucking fanboys come riding up to defend him for that. SMH.

and you are the king of those ggg fanboys!

[just the facts]

... Now they are coming up with the likes of Hagler and Hopkins... Tomorrow (who knows?) they will come up with SRR...
... It's a bit hilarious that Lennox doesn't even mention Andre Ward into this.

Why mention Ward, it's a fight team ggg has made clear they don't want

[just the facts]

I would put a large amount of $$$ on GGG

You would be broke!

[Fetta]

Hagler is an actual ATG while GGG is nothing more than a NSB ATG

And i like GGG but his fans.....

[just the facts]

Lol that is exactly what GGG would do with May jr except GGG would take jr by the head and put it on the choppin block

This thread is about ggg/Hagler, no one mentioned Floyd. Try to keep up

[just the facts]

Hagler had a chin made out of iron and his determination and will eclipses anything GGG has been in the ring with. When GGG has fought greats or even near greats, we can have what-if scenarios. But GGG is not in that conversation yet, and may not ever be.

good post, totally agree, end thread and nuff said

[just the facts]

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

Back then boxing was a religion to me. I don't recall a Hagler/Spinks bout ever even being mentioned, let alone "M Spinkks begging". Could you provide a link to that?

We get an ATG HW giving his opinion on how a ATG MW might pose a threat to GGG in a H2H fantasy match up, and we get....

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

Sounds about right.

These debates are always ******. We'll never know anyway and it's different times.

Also you have to remember a lot of retired pro's like Lennox grew up watching Hagler etc.. so they will have a sense of nostalgia about them, they are heroes to them. They are never going to say a modern fighter could have been their idols.

Just like in 20 years time, young guys now coming through the ranks looking up to Floyd or GGG or whoever will be saying fighters from 2035 could never have lived with their idols. That's just how it goes.

I'm not saying he could or couldn't beat Hagler. We would just never know and it's a fruitless debate. I'd rather debate about fights that could be proven.

It's too Early to Talk GGG versus Hagler

but the simple mentioning of the two bodes well for the respect GGG is getting.

GGG has much to prove.

It's too early to judge because GGG is still lacking any big name fights where he was challenged, but right now, I'd say Lewis is right.

We're truly not gonna know how good Golovkin is until his first knockdown - who KDs him, if/how he gets up, and what happens afterward.

Ok, but hypothetically, what if he clears MW, drags Lara and Andrade up, clears them, then takes out meaningful SMW. And Ward comes back to 168, and he KO Ward.

All without ever hitting the canvas.

Then can he never really be great unless someone takes him down.

He eat Lemieux best shots a brushed them off. Didn't even stop the attack.

Why mention Ward, it's a fight team ggg has made clear they don't want

Yea, because they gave Ward a couple shots and he turned them down. Ward only wants GGG when dudes busy.

Back then boxing was a religion to me. I don't recall a Hagler/Spinks bout ever even being mentioned, let alone "M Spinkks begging". Could you provide a link to that?

I'm sure when he said it was all over the Internet. Lol!
