    Foster would stop Hagler. I happen to think that was possible for Hearns to have stopped Hagler at middleweight had he not broken his right hand in the first round of 'The War'.

    So if I believe that Tommy can do it at MW than Foster definitely can at LHW.

    I'd still worry for James.

    When Bob connected, you stayed hit.

    I don't think any middleweight chin could stand up to Foster's power.

    Was Spinks really trying to lure Hagler or was his weight just a coincidence?

    Foster probably knocks him out, but d*mn you for making me bet against Hagler’s chin.

    Absolutely, Calzaghe and Hagler at 168 is a far,far better matchup.

    He fought a few cans at around 168, coming in at 161, 162 ect, but this thread was to settle a debate. Which I won handedly.
