    And I know DLH was not in his prime anywhere but in the WW division..But if he agrees to fight Haglar at 154, Then was DLH up for the kind of Pressure he was gonna be getting from Marvin, Or is Hoya gonna Box smart comin in with those jab and that beautiful hook..Combos and get out, find a away to just out busy Haglar..( Much like DLH did to Tito...the first 8 or 9 rounds Oscar was given Tito a straight boxing lesson, what happend I dont know...:good

    Catchweights always complicate these hypothetical matchups because you never know how the fighters' bodies will respond...particularly the guy cutting weight. That said, I just can't see how DLH would be able to overcome Hagler's conditioning, desire, tenacity and overall skill set.

    Hagler weighed in sometimes at 157. If Hagler would come in at 157 then he could fight Oscar at that weight. I think Hagler is too strong for Oscar and Marvin had a 75 inch reach. Hagler wins by mid round knockout.

    DLH looks great early on. If he's dealing with an early Hagler who moved alot and countered, he's in alot of trouble.

    Hagler by decision.

    Oscar would win a decision. Too quick and moving in and out frequently enough to take a split decision.

    Oscar quits after a bodyshot in round 2.

    Oscar was 160 against Chavez. (At fightnight)
    Hagler would be 160 at fightnight probably too.

    I don't think 154 matters, the only difference between 154 and 160 for these men is dehydration
