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

[bojangles1987]

Based on what we've seen so far, no doubt about that. It would be tough, but Hagler would end up putting a beating on Golovkin. He's too versatile and tough.

The question is what has GGG faced that resembles an ATG? Nothing. Not only is Hagler an ATG, he faced ATG's. Until GGG has faced a near ATG or an ATG, he is not in the same breath as Hagler.

Tell me, then: who compared GGG to Hagler or Hopkins in the first place? Who said that Golovkin would have beaten Hagler or Hopkins in the first place? Abel, GGG himself or who?
... All those top "ex-Soviet school" fighters never fought at the 'pros' before the mid '90s... In fact, we all know that "ex-Soviet school" was specifically meant for the amateur boxing.

We'll never know.

This is the way i look at mythical fights.

I've been seeing lot of comparing....mostly from another thread recently....and then there is the what if scenario which I cant fathom till GGG reaches that level if he reaches that level.

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?

how the phuck would I do that it was 30 years ago and it was talked about a lot. hagler never moved up in weight

Would be a hell of a fight no doubt. From what we've seen prime Hagler would win a close decision. GGG is too open, Hagler would touch him plenty.

You better re-watch the Hagler Roldan fight. Roldan's first round knock down of Hagler was a foul: Clearly the punch hit the back of Hagler's head. In the third, when Hagler knocked down Roldan, Roldan needed the ropes to stay inside the ring. In the tenth, Hagler knocks down Roldan again, and Roldan tells the ref, Tony Perez, that he quit. Fight over. And as swollen and smashed up as Roldan's face was, he made the right decision. Yes, Roldan fought throughout the fight, but Hagler did too, was throwing the harder punches, and clearly, Roldan was taking a beating.

haggler thumbed roldan cause he would have been KO'd. vito anterfermo beat hagler first time in the rematch hagler being scared he would lose again butted vitos face to shreds and fight was called for cuts. HAGLER NEVER MOVED UP IN WEGHT

Was he talking about this?

“I am here, Marvin,” Spinks taunted. “The Spinx Jinx is ready for you. Are you awesome, Marvin? Well so am I. Come to me.”

... 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 would he. Hagler was a career mw..
