hagler vs rjj at middle

[elgaringo]

"Sugar" Ray Leonard didn't give Hagler problems. Why the hell do you think most of the boxing public thinks Hagler was robbed of that fight? Watch the Hagler/Leonard fight. Hagler won it. It was clearly a case of the judges giving the "bigger" more mainstream, recognizable fighter the victory.

Hagler wasn't Leonard, he never would be. He wasn't smiley and charming and charasmatic, he was a gritty fighter who got the job done. There's no way they would give Hagler the victory over Leonard, who was thought of as "the new Ali". Leonard's reputation won that fight for him.

Leanard did'nt give Hagler problems? Thats bull****! This will always be subjective cos of what people like. Theirs Counter punchers, come forward fighters.

I dont like the way sooo many judges score for coming forward and not landing AS many effective shots. But the judge is considering the few shots that the fighter coming forward as far more effective. Its not ALL about being the stronger fighter, the agressor and coming forward! this is boxing its a skill and an art! Being "mus Macho" is only part of it The sooner certain judges realize this the better!

As far as Im concerned Leanard won that fight in style. Even though I think it was close, he was a miracle man for imposing his style like he did!

i honestly think roy could win this if he stuck and moved the entire fight to stay away from haglers bulling, roy at 160 had some pretty nice pop so i think he would have enough power at least to get haglers attention

roy ud no knockdowns but a clear win

Yes I agree Roy would win if they were both in their prime! he would by no means have it easy. I think it would be closer! SD for Roy

15 rounds, speed vs determination

Hagler would give that boy roy brain damage...Hapler by a killer KO...

[Super_Lightweight]

hagler was passed his prime when he fought leanord, haglers advatages vs roy are he is a southpaw that cant be hurt and will keep coming, could he land the ko shot, roy in his prime was something else fast as hell, but he was always more vunerable then thought, because wenow know he can be koed with one shot, i think halgers eventauly gets him because he's a southpaw

We know he can KO'd by one shot by a powerful lightheavy after losing pounds of muscle and at age 36.

We don't know Hagler can KO Roy at all. Roy would be in his prime, not only physically but mentally as well.

Hagler would give that boy roy brain damage...Hapler by a killer KO...

Are you going by Jones's last couple of years (when he was shot. EG after the Ruiz fight) or Jones in his prime?

[AintGottaClue]

remember guys we talkign about 160 not 168 when roy was at his best, prime 160 roy vs prime 160 hagler over 15 rounds id go with hagler

LOL at those who "hagler by murder"

LOL at those who think the best version of Hagler is the pressure fighter of the 80s

[Easy-E]

Close decision, probably in favor of Marvin, but it would be close.
For all the morons who say Hagler wins by KO, watch some of Roys fights at 160.
And that wasnt even his best weight!

[Easy-E]

Hagler has never been in trouble. every fighter gets hurt, the knockdown was not a legit knockdown, if Hearns landed the same punch that he did on Hagler, he would've knocked out anyone else. He broke his hand with that punch.

Fact is Leonard was a much better boxer then Jones, fact is Leonard had a way better chin then Jones, fact is that was Haglers last fight & still many people though he won.

Jones would've never survived with Hagler, he would've been knocked out sooner or late.

Jones style was unique, he was too fast and his reflexes were too quick for Hagler to tee of on him.
This is a younger Roy with a better chin who wouldnt get KO'd in 1 shot.
This fight would have gone the distance, and it would have been close.
Clean punching vs Agression.
I actully see it going kind of like Hatton Collazo went.
Altough Roy and Hagler are clearly on another level as far as boxing ability is concerned.

ahh.....how soon people forgot how hard RJJ hits at 168. People are forgetting his greatness.

Not even forget...Most of these posters weren't even watching boxing during Jones's hayday...

Everyone seems to want to play this nostalgia game that they weren't even around for...

Jones would have won...
