    How would Hagler do vs GGG/Ward/Kovalev?

    If Prime Hagler was fighting today, how would he do vs:

    1. GGG
    2. Sergey Kovalev
    3. Andre Ward

    4. Prime Joe Calzaghe (bonus round)



    VS






    I think Hagler would beat them all. Hagler has knocked out people weighing 190 on fight nights back in the day and also had an Adamantium chin.

    ROFL Marvelous would have brutally stopped Lil G and Kkkovalev. There's a difference between a good fighter and an All-time Great.

    He might lose a decision to Ward. Not sure about Calzaghe.

      Hard to say against Golovkin. They are about the same size and I think they are both true mws. Ill got UD/SD against Golovkin because its hard to pick against an ATG in his weight division. Kovalev and Ward beat him by UD I think. There is a reason Hagler never left the MW division, he was a MW..not a LHW.

      Calzaghe does a SRL on him, again..Hagler was a MW but its possible he gets Joe out of here.

        That would be funny to watch..... but Hagler was robbed against Leonard IMO. How does a champion land that many clean body punches and lose the fight?

          Hagler brutally KOs GGG. Ward gives him a good fight, but Hagler wins a decision. Hagler vs Kovalev is interesting because of size, but still think Hagler KOs him. Calzaghe would make it interesting at 168, but Hagler would figure him out.

            Thats an ongoing problem, body shots unfortunately are ignored a lot. I think you caught my meaning when I said Calzaghe pulls a SRL on him and there is a good chance he drops Calzaghe a few times and possibly stops him cold.

              Why do you say that, I think he beats Golovkin but he wont have his chin out there on a plate for Hagler to take advantage of. Hagler went the distance with much lesser fighters than Golovkin. He also KOs Kovalev? Where is your reasoning for this? Why isnt he Koing Ward?

                interesting; Hagler would beat GGG by a good margin IMO, pressure, strength, and power edge. Hagler Ward is a close fight either way, Hagler footwork would be an issue for Ward. Hagler Kovalev would be interesting but strength and pressure would get to Kovalev. none of these guys posses the foot movement leonard had so it would feel like being stuck in quick sand having to deal with Hagler, especially if were talking about 15 rounds.

                as for calzaghe, i see joe getting stopped, hagler timing on the exchanges and body work would break joe down into the late rounds.

                  GGG knocks overrated Hagler out in the first round.

                    Much lesser fighters than Golovkin? How? Golovkin hasn't done anything.
