    In a boxing match? Hagler.

    In a food eating contest? Toney.

    I can't even think about Toney at 160lbs these days.

    Hagler, too busy. Toney would land his shots but Hagler isnt going down.

    Hagler by decision

    Superior conditioning, especially over 15 rounds will be massive here

    Hagler would outwork him though Toney was skilled enough to hang with him in either a brawl of technical match problem was Toney was so inconsistent. Great fight to watch though.

    Standing in front of Hagler.

    Yes, that will go smoothly.

    Lol, Toney was durable enough to do that but I see Hagler boxing his way to a decision. Hagler only fought if he felt he had to. Gets overrated as a brawler though he finished fights well and gets underrated as a smooth boxer which he tended to do more. People don't realize that he used to be a mover in the late 70s and after that he was more stationary but still a boxer first. Underrated footwork it was brilliant.

    Exactly. And Toney's footwork in comparison...well, I'll just be polite and say no more. :!:

    Toney's footwork in the pocket is fantastic but his footspeed is horrible and struggles with mobile opponents. Guy moves like he has cinderblocks for feet and that's what Hagler would exploit. He'd move around Toney and cause him to be off balance then pop him with that ATG jab. Along with Toney's inactiveness this fight would go quite heavily in Hagler's favor.
