    You guys don't understand weight divisions and size differences. Or at least don't understand how impactful size can be in fights.

    Hagler walked around 160 and would likely be a welterweight by today's standards. You guys really think a welter would be able to deal with an elite accurate middleweight jab? This is a guy who (GGG) who has an extensive amateur career not just some standard weight bully overhyped bum.

    Prime Golovkin would jab Hagler to death and pulverise him into the canvas. Prime Canelo would have the size advantage for sure but since he struggled against Lara and Trout at 154 (and given that Canelo's so called "improvements" have been excessively overrated) Hagler probably UDs him. But I wouldn't be surprised if Canelo beats him given the below-

    Everyone has a mysterious nostalgic lens when it comes to these old fighters but Haglers most notable wins are his competitive fight against lightweight Duran, against welterweight weight bully Hearns, competitive loss to inactive Leonard and Bumgabi.

    Hagler would be an absolutely gargantuan welterweight and a tank of a light middleweight. He was shredded as hell at 160 and looks to be bulkier than (should be undisputed) light middleweight champion Brian Castano

    That "lightweight" Duran beat Barkley who is the same size as Jacobs and has more power

    Hearns weight bully ?????? Yet GGG who rehydrates to super middleweight isn't ? Hearns despite his frame made welterweight just fine because he was skinny. Bumgabi ?

    What a load of SH*T lmao

    That explains why GGG out-landed one of the better defenders in the sport in Canelo in two separate fights. That makes a lot of sense.

    No. Hagler would be smaller than guys (huge weight bullies) like Spence and Crawford who walk around 170-180+ and rehydrate f loads after the weigh in. Hagler was around 162 mark in the ring.

    Wow the mighty Barkley. And yes Durans good years were at lightweight. Barkley did not like 180lbs+ like Jacobs did against GGG

    What the **** are you talking about?

    Middlweights today who aren't considered huge weight bullies rehydrate 5-10lbs from weigh in to fight night. You have the offenders who rehydrate 15+lbs that are the pussies
