    My all time GOAT ...

    How do you think he would. do against BJS ,GGG,Canelo,Andrade etc etc

    I think Hagler beats them all in the same year if not the same night

    GOAT

    prime Hagler versus prime GGG would be a very competitive WAR.

    I think Hagler beats the daylights out of GGG

    The marvelous one beats all of them, with Canelo and GGG probably going the distance after taking a once in a lifetime beating, and the other two getting knocked out. late

    MW and SMW get cleaned out spotlessly for sure. I don't think light heavy today is particularly strong, just not sure that wouldn't always be a bridge too far in any era for Marv.

    Hagler probably beats ggg and almost certainly beats Canelo. Remember today’s snows are as big or bigger than l75s in Hager’s day... that’s why ggg stayed at 160 and hagler did too to avoid the light heavyweights of his day...ggg and marvin are the same size...

    Hagler walks right through any of the current champions would clearly destroy Canelo let's not forget Mugabi who jumped up to middleweight

    Hagler is slight favorite, but not a guaranteed win.
    And Marvin is one of my favorite boxers.

    Hagler vs GGG is one hell of a fight that could go either way. I think the chin of a prime Golovkin could be a deciding factor.

    I would have Hagler as top dog today but anyone who thinks he would walk through and 'destroy' both Canelo and GGG need to take off there rose tinted glasses and get a grip on reality.

    Rose tinted bro, it’s an extremely hard fight for him, he’s also fighting a naturally bigger man.

    And prime G always caught a second wind when most were already feeling it.

    Rose tinted??? i dont think so

    GGGs best win is a very very close decision against Jacobs....All his other wins are B and C level fighters...

    I think plenty of Haglers opponents would have given GGG nightmares ,not the other way around...

    I think it shows how weak 160 lb has been for a long time
