Antonio tarver vs marvin hagler. Good lhw vs great mw

All these yrs I thought you were one of the alright guys on here. Guess I was wrong

 

Hagler by decision.

 

No, you're misunderstood. I favour Hagler, I just think Tarver is bigger, your argument didn't apply to me.

 

These things change.

 

Tarver would be in the 180's on fight night.

Marvin used to often weigh-in at 157 in the days of same day weigh-ins.

Tarver would have been over 20 pounds heavier.

 

I love Marvin, but I think you've exaggerated things.

It wouldn't have been an easy fight for him.

 

True, but I believe that Tarver had more ability than Barkley.

 

Technically sure but it doesn't mean he's the easy fighter to face depending on your style. But you'll have to clarify your point a little better for me. I'm a little foggy this morning.

 

Wondered where Loudon was hiding.
Thought you must have been run off ESB, but here you are in the Classic

 

I agree with you.

Styles make fights.

Duran did great against Barkley, especially as Barkley was huge, it was at MW, and Duran was 37.

I could envisage Marvin beating Tarver. But I don't think it would be easy. Barkley was very physical but had limited skills. Whereas Tarver was a southpaw with good skills and speed. I believe that those attributes along with his size and weight advantages would have given Marvin a lot to deal with.

 

I still come on most days, but I haven't seen much on the General that's interested me as of late.

I looked a few days ago, only to find threads such as:

'No HW under 6'3 would stand a chance against today's SHW's'

 

I hadnt been on for a while. Find it can get a bit monotonous at times


Still you are here to try and build up Tarver over Hagler due to the Jones Jnr fights... Joke

 

Ha!

No, it has nothing to do with Roy.

I just think Marvin would have had his hands full. I don't think Marvin could have beaten or battered Tarver with ease.

I also think that Tarver would always have caused Roy a lot of problems.
