    .

    Going undefeated for 11 years whilst taking on every relevant challenger at 160lbs and thus making 12 successful title defenses. That is a great MW in my eyes.

    Sugar Ray Leonard beat a fading Marvin Hagler. Could I envision a motivated Leonard being just as competitive with a fading Hopkins? Absolutely. That said, considering styles make fights, this has nothing to do with how great Marvin Hagler actually was.
    Yeah.

    I think Hagler is above Pacquiao in the ATG list.

    1. Pernell Whitaker
    2. Marvin Hagler
    3. Manny Pacquiao

    Sweet Pea was right handed; if we’re talking lefties why not spit Mike Tyson.
