Do you guys think GGG would be able to hurt Hagler?

Those were good fighters who got a lot of attention from the media back in the day, but were not on Golovkin's level.

Golovkin isn't just a good fighter, he's a GREAT one. He would have Barkleyed Tommy Hearns.

So a 6 division fighter isn't on the level of a 1 division fighter? Racism ruins you.

John Mugabi himself was stronger then golovkin........so it's a ****** argument.

I never thought the Beast was that good. Probably because most of his fights I saw were after Hagler ruined him.

I do remember him being feared though.

That era 80's-90's had so many dudes who could flat out punch. I think a big puncher nowadays is more of an anomaly.

Possibly......

Mugabi actually did a lot of damage to Hagler as well - it was an absolute war and many have speculated that it prompted Leonard to challenge him

After all, he took everything that Hearns hit him with and that guy was a murderous puncher

Back to the topic at hand, Hagler had an incredible chin but as others have said, anyone can be hurt by a world class puncher landing flush

Having said that, I'd back Hagler to find a way and eventually beat GGG by late tko or close decision

Man this fight really is the irresistible force vs the immovable object!

Yes he would hurt Hagler, but Marvin would recover and likely UD GGG in a convincing fashion. Style is all wrong for him, Hagler could live on GGG's chest in that fight and be safe as houses, because he was slick as anything on the inside and knew how to do serious damage there, GGG is cuter on the inside than given credit for, but he needs room to throw his punches.

This is assuming that GGG will still be able to do the things he is doing now to higher calibre fighters, that is still an unknown with him.

All in all I don't think GGG would get any change from B-Hop or Hagler, two other recent great middleweights, in my opinion they are a little too complete for him, and B-Hop was a monster at middleweight, size wise.

he was really good. the problem is he got everything beat out of him in that hagler fight. even hagler only had 1 more fight after that. hagler was done with boxing after that fight but sugar came along with the right money. people don't understand that hagler didn't even want to fight anymore after that fight because it drained everything out of him.

I'd pick Hagler to win that fight by decision. Unless he got stopped by a cut.

Golovkin isn't a "go for broke" one punch hitter. He's a smart boxer who lands punches with accuracy and gradually beats people down. Power serves him; he doesn't serve it.

But Hagler had better competition for sure, and I have to pick him at this point.

Caught flush anyone can get hurt.

Cmon GGG isn't invincible, no doubt he could hurt Hagler but he would get a taste of something he's yet to see so far. Prime vs prime would be show to watch!
