    For my part, based on the many declarations by pros in the game, I believe Gennady hits harder.

    That's not a hard one too choose. G's power is utterly ridiculous. Can't lie about that one. He does load up more than Haglar though.

    There is nothing particularly impressive about displaying good power while in the process of knocking over a string of TOMATO CANs..

    Definitely GGG. But Hagler punched very hard.

    GGG hands down. And in 4 years this will be an even more lopsided poll after he blasts out Canelo and other top fighters.

    I'm inclined to say Hagler without giving it much thought but Gennady has some very strong, thudding like power. He makes guys wobble from his stiff jabs. Now obviously the level of competition is what makes some people a little skeptical about how great he really is, but his unusual power has to be recognized.

    You know GGG IS going to win the poll.. There's too many GGGoons on this site. I mean, when has GGG ever lost on a damn ESB poll?

    Let's live in the fantasy of yesteryear where fighters had superior skills, power, chin, stamina and super powers not to mention better nutrition, training techniques and knowledge of the human body.
    How can fighters today compete with the bedtime stories of the fighter's of yesteryear.
