    Who wins and how? Floyd is the younger and less shopworn fighter so he has that in his corner.

    Mayweather doesn't have a chance against Hagler. Just way too small

    At middleweight? Why do you want to see Floyd suffer?

    He would never have fought Marvin Hagler.

    He wouldn’t fight a prime Manny or Canelo at 154.

    He’d never have put himself in that position.

    What would he have done if Marvin had fought him aggressively?

    The answer is: Nothing.

    I can see this as a draw only because Hagler was no good by then. He was the equivalent of napoles when he lost to Stracey.

    There is no chance in heaven that Floyd steps in with Hagler.

    There were also posts matching Ringo against middleweight boxers. Anyway there were posters who denigrated Ray's efforts. They were Herculean.

    That’s not true. He was faded, but he was far from finished. It was his tactics that let him down against Ray in 1987. He went with the wrong strategy.

    Also, many people feel as though he was robbed, and Ray went on to have a bit of success for a few years later.

    The hate against Floyd is strong in this one.

    His fans invite it by denigrating other fighters to elevate Floyd
