    I largely agree but you're wrong about the weights. Hagler weighed pretty much exactly the same as GGG. Both about 170-172 in ring. I'm less sure about Canelo but I'd guess he's a half stone more...about 178_180.

    Canelo and GGG would have handled Mugabi in better style than Hagler did.

    Both GGG and Canelo were better than anyone Hagler beat at middle except maybe Hearns.

    Canelo is better than anyone Hagler beat at middle except Hearns and Griffith along wit Napoles would have given Hagler problems both of them were more impressive in their fights with Monzon than Ray was v Hagler, I don`t feel Ray won at all.

    Your joking right Mugabi would do just fine against both GGG or Canelo. I mean come on you think Lara and Trout would be top guys in that era no way jose!

    One of the handful of American fighters of the last 50 years who was capable of hanging at Brit Level or if not quite that high just below it. So the answer is very high.

    Mugabi was too easy to hit.

    Mugabi was far too reckless.

    That statement goes both ways. Hagler against G or Canelo would be very interesting.

    I was around then. I know what the standard was. I'm certain GGG and Canelo would cope in that era, or any era.
