Hagler would get some good work in, inside, but the speedy and powerful counters would keep Hagler honest.
Jones would actually have the speed, power, edge and also timing.
He shakes and bakes his way to a clear UD over Hagler who will look 1/2 step behind

Roy Jones' MW career is waaaaay overrated. He beat Hopkins, Tate, and Castro for his only significant wins. Literally just one title defense. He outgrew MW fast, was fighting at SMW before he fought Hopkins, then had 3 more SMW fights before his one defense vs Tate.
At MW while each were champions; prime Hagler all day every day.

Don't think I've seen a thread in months where someone hasn't been accused to taking PEDs. It's toxic.

Hard to say. Hagler has slowed down a lot by the time he got the fights most people remember him for, Hearns, Mugabe, Leonard. Even Duran really. In his explosive, shift hitting prime he was capable of getting to someone even as quick as Roy. At the same time, Roy was a freak of nature. I think he would respect the hell out of Hagler and win a decision by outspeeding him from the outside.
