    Hagler-Monzon and Hagler-Lamotta would not have been all out brawls.

    Hagler-Monzon would probably have been a high-paced chessmatch. And Hagler, knowing he couldn't stop Lamotta, would simply have outboxed him.

    I think Lamotta Hagler has a chance to be all out brawl, it depends on Hagler.. And Monzon? It matters how Hagler would want to handle that. Monzon was a natural middleweight so to think he might rush him like he did Hearns, I am not sure he could.. But turning that one into a brawl would help him.. Remember Hagler had a 75 inch reach. Which is more the reach of a 6 foot 1 guy. Hearns reach of 78 1/2 was more the reach of a guy 6 foot 3 or 6 foot 4 . Both guys had longer reaches than their height. Especially Marvin.

    All I can say is if you put Eduardo Lausse against any fighter already mentioned you'd likely have a shootout great enough that it would be remembered for all times...

    Briscoe-Echols is more of an execution than a brawl.

    An interesting question. Problem is Toney tended to flourish when guys came after him. It would be a very interesting fight, if only to get some film on Greb, and ya'll know I love watching Toney work.
