    Maravilla vs Marvelous at 160 lb. I see Sergio having success early with his movement and boxing skills but Hagler breaks him down gradually with right hooks towards a mid rounds stoppage.


    Who ya got?

    Hagler was a machine in his prime and would have burrowed into Martinez's chest and walked through his best shots. Much respect for Maravilla, but he's not on Hagler's level.

    Marvelous by late ko... Too much power with Sergio's down hand open face defense it will be an invitation to disaster.

    Sergio is awesome but he hasnt faced anyone near haglers level, logically hagler wins this fantasy based on resume, but movement did indeed bother hagler, but sergio isnt beating hagler, there is only one guy from Argentina that was capable of doing that.

    Hagler could've beaten Martinez in a slew of ways. Any style he chose really.

    Sergio sometimes like to go head to head too much. I think Hagler would get the best of him when that happens.

    Tough fight for Sergio.

    His movement would have created problems for Hagler, but Hagler was a truly outstanding middleweight.

    I give Hagler the edge here.

    Hagler would tame his style. It would be a good fight but Hagler would be too much.

    I'll take Hagler by late stoppage in a fun to watch encounter.

    Sergio is a tremendous talent in today's game, but the reality is he's pretty small for a middleweight. Aside from quickness, I think Hagler has all the advantages including size, strength, and ring IQ.

    They are pretty much the same in size and even if Martinez is better then him, Hagler would still take it because of the experience he has.

    Hagler by demolition. While Sergio has movement, he does not have the elite technical skills of Duran or SRL to make this competitive. He was also has been floored by PWill and have shown to gas by mid rounds. Hagler will drop him more and harder than PWill did and he will not be able to take the pressure late rounds.

    Hagler by TKO 9th round.

    Sergio is a great talent. But he's a small MW fighting in dreadful era. Moreover, Hagler was a complete fighter, a master. Martinez gets hit a lot, and he tires in the later rounds. Against Dzinziruk and Williams that defensive weakness wasn't fatal. Against Hagler, it's lights out.
