    Does Hagler get to use steroids to get up to the weights that Toney was?

    Maybe, but we never got to see what a steriod soaked McDonalds filled Hagler running on 75% body fat could do.

    You've got to choose Toney because he proved it in higher divisions, Eubank had the weakest IMO.

    I genuinely wonder if many people in this forum have ever been hit flush by any boxer, let alone a strong boxer who can punch.
    The punches you don't see coming are the ones that do the damage, no fight is the same. Just because fighter A put down fighter B does not mean fighter A could put down fighter C. However fighter B could probably put down fighter C. No fight is the same in boxing.

    Obviously Tony had a great chin but it is hard to say if it is better than Haglers.

    All Haglers fights were at middleweight.

    Could Tony have taken punches from Peter, Holyfield etc if he was weighing 160lbs?

    How do you know if Hagler ballooned up in weight that his chin would not stand up to the above mentioned?

    If the roids had improved your chin then morrison ,roy jones, bruno or rahman would have super iron jaw but it was not the case,stop talking nonsenses

    He's talking overall body weight, neck size etc. I can't see why roids and huge weight gains couldn't help somewhat.

    Can you see that Reggie Johnson punch knocking Toney off his feet at 230?

    1. Toney
    2. Hagler
    3. Hopkins
    4. Eubank

    Hagler had an ATG chin, Toney had an ATG chin proven in the HW

    The only real KD when Toney was hurt was Reggie Johnson KD. Peter KD was an off-balance, RJJ - well, just watch it. That's 92 fights, 29 years in the ring, MW, SMW, LHW, CW, HW divisions.

    Ruiz, Rahman, Peter couldn't stop fat out of shape Toney.

    I think Hagler. He took Hearns punch. He was rocked and his legs wobbled, but he stayed in there after being hit clean and hard.. Same with Mugabi who didn't even wobble him.
