Ugh, I just realized I opened myself up to boxing_master telling me how Pacquiao would have gladly come up to MW and 'overwhelmed' Hagler because Shane Mosley says he hits hard or something.
Well according to the all knowing Skip Bayless, who is an expert on all things boxing, Hagler isn't even in the same league as Pac.
You might want to think about it. We all know how knowledgeable Skip Bayless is. When I think boxing, I think Skip Bayless.
According to Skip they do have very similar fighting styles. And we know Pac has an iron chin because as Skip pointed out, Manny took Tim Bradley's best punches. I think I'm seeing the light. Note: please nobody take this as me bashing Manny. Terrific fighter with a great resume, Hagler was just better IMO.
I don't think I can make up my mind until I hear what Stephen A has to say. He's famously knowledgeable as well.
H2h, at 140 and 147, Manny. At 154 and 160, Hagler. But if the question was who is the more skilled southpaw, that would be Pacquiao. Lol at the Floydette trolls in this thread trying to answer this question.
