More skilled: Mike McCallum, Michael Nunn, Sumbu Kalambay, or James Toney?

Still should have at least been granted a rematch though.

Yes, but Marvin should have insisted on a rematch clause in the contract. Overconfidence made him careless.

James Toney!

[Ham Porter]

You're kinda selling Hagler short here. Even the less than prime version of Hagler that fought Leonard beats all of these guys.

McCallum- he didn't have any advantages over Hagler, he wasn't faster or more powerfull. One sided decision for Hagler.

Nunn- his speed and reflexes would be a factor through the mid rounds, but then Marvin goes into destroy and destruct and takes him out like Toney did. The fight is close at the stoppage

Kalambay- any version of Hagler > any version of Kalambay. Nuff said

Toney- good fight, but Toney killed himself to make 160. Hagler isn't gonna just let Toney lay on the ropes and counter him with pot shots. Hagler by close but well deserved decision

To say that you grossly overestimate Hagler's abilities is a massive, massive understatement. His entire reign was founded on beating guys that were nowhere near the level of the quality of the boxers you mention. These weren't the plodding, face-first brawlers Hagler feasted on for so many years.
