Roy Jones Jr. vs. Marvin Hagler, at middleweight< who wins?

Why?

 

atsch I suggest you watch some of his fights on YouTube

 

Hagler over 15

Roy over 12

 

I will. Help me out by telling me what I'm looking for.

 

It's a tough call to make. On one hand you have the never say die hagler, one of the all-time greats of the division against jones, who is one of the most gifted boxers of this or any generation and also an all-time great.

As i've stated before, styles make fights and jones definitely had the stlye to beat as well as the speed and reflexes. My only question is how would jones handle someone like hagler who was aggressive and hard punching, and if he possessed the heart neccessary to beat him.

This is where jones is unproven imo. Hagler has an etablished record of handling tough, quality fighters and jones record pales in comparison. Hagler has faced tougher opponents and fought through adversity to overcome his foes, displaying a champions heart. Jones hasn't in fact hasn't fought everyone that he could and should have as being a champion.

Theoretically,(on paper) Jones could outbox hagler with his far superior speed and win a decision, however I'm going with the more proven warrior. Hagler by late round tko in a highly entertaining fight.

 

Right on. Clearly you underestimte the effect that haglers pressure could have on an opponent. Besides, there was nobody in the division who applied pressure the way hagler did.

 

haglers one of my absolute favourites but im ganna have to agree with this..
jones is a nightmare for hagler..
ill add that jones is faster, hits harder and has infinately better footwork and this could be a real flogging..
if this was over twelve rounds i dont think hagler would take more than 3 of them and thats being generous.

 

hagler, is one of the greatest fighters peroid.. a peak jones from 160 to 168 one nite only.. had wins over hopkins and toney a zillions yrs later hops is better than ever. toney on a good nite prehaps could get a title. i still cant pick.. jones, was the fastest human being i ever seen..

 

why , because that speed is brilliant but when you come up against an immovable object like the marvellous one it wouldn't be enough.

 

I would be temped to say Draw. Jones doesn't make my top 20 HW's, I have Hagler at no.1, but H2H Jones measures up well against any ATG in any of the divisionms he competed in (bar HW)

 

So all Roy has over Hagler is speed... :blood?

Try Speed (foot and hand), Power, Reflex's, Natural Size, Styles, Punch variety, Ring IQ.

Jones would have hit Hagler from the outside and not engadged, but Jones doesn't pot shot with light punches, he throw's lighting fast combinations with viscous power.

He also takes body punches better and more easily than any fighter I have seen, and does not slow down.

Sure could Hagler win, yeah. But Jones would be the hardest fight at that weight that he could have by miles.

 

Speculation. I am sure you know that nobody has any evidence that he took anything other than an over the counter at that time unband substance.

Jones took plenty of shots before, see the Hopkins fight, hell Ruiz hit him with at least 3 soild right hands. Never looked like going down.

The only time he was down was vs De Valle at 175 who hit Jones with a Heavy shot and still managed to lose every round.

His chin is fine.

 

:good:good:good:good:good

His legs were gone after the sudden move back down to LHW. Had he gone down to CW I think he would still be strong. But his legs were gone, he didn't look great in the first Tarver fight, and after the 2nd fight he was mentally shot and gun shy. Hence why Johnson beat him.

I would say after the Johnson loss he was shot. He has been since then, though I think he still shows flashes of brilliance.

However, Hagler COULD wear him down.

I'm tempted to say DRAW over 12, Hagler over 15 or possibly late stoppage.

 

I agree here.
