    I'm not saying Hagler wouldn't beat GGG, I'm simply saying he wouldn't stop him, which isn't outlandish since GGG was never even wobbled in his whole career.

    Who said Hagler was unbeaten? Think you need Glasses and come on every one gets beat sometime and Haglers defeats were early on in his career and perhaps the most controversial loss in boxing history

    Off the top. The m

    Hagler stops him IMO
    Steele has the potential to stop him
    M. Spinks - kills him
    McClellan wrecks him
    Jackson (although I favor GGG)
    Foster - kills him
    Saad Muhammad kills him
    Beterbiev - see above
    Marciano - see above
    Moore - stops him

    GGG has an awesome chin but Kell Brook came up from 147 and nailed him with some jarring shots that didn't make look pretty. Image if the guys with the big guns catch him with big shots. I'm a huge fan of Hagler but I wouldn't say that no one could stop him above 160. Thats crazy talk.

    As I said we all have opinions. I don't believe someone like Hagler who was barely 160lbs would stop GGG... no chance. Win a decision? Yeah of course.
    I just don't see how anyone can fashion out a judgment on who stops Golovkin if he's never really been hurt in his career. It's impossible.
    From what we have seen, he took clean shots from Lemieux and was unfazed, he took huge shots from Stevens and was unfazed, huge shots from Jacobs and shots from Canelo that knocked other boxers out cold and didn't even faze Golovkin. He loses some of the match ups you mentioned but again, I would say that none of the names would be likely to stop him, anything can happen but it's far more probable he doesn't get stopped.

    You feel the same about Hagler vs Canelo? You should because Canelo is no better than GGG.

    Hagler would come at Golovkin in a similar manner, only he brings more skill, power, better defense and even better chin than Ouma.

    Ridiculous

    So according to you GGG goes the distance with Bob Foster, Michael Spinks and Michael Moorer at 175 ?

    A 190lb Floyd Patterson wouldn't stop Golovkin ? Really ?

    Hagler had one clear loss in his career, that he avenged twice by knockout.

    This type of mentality really illustrates someones lack of boxing IQ imo. I'm assuming this really sound logic of yours means that you think Fury would beat Lennox? As Lennox lost to worse fighters than Fury? Any middleweight better than Randy Turpin would beat SRR right? Any heavy better than Norton would beat Ali? Any heavy better than Sanders would beat Wlad?

    I fail to see how Lennox Lewis has anything to do with this situation.

    I already broke down how I see this fight. If Mr Confused feels that Hagler has any specific edge that I have not already adressed, let him bring it up. He did a great job at shooting down those straw men though, props for that.

    He gave an example regarding the theory shown earlier.
    Just because Hagler lost to lesser men earlier in ehen he wasnt at his best that does not represent his best form.
    That was it pretty much.

    Let's not forget that Hagler was done at 33. At 33 Golovkin was only really getting started. We are comparing a man whose career was mostly spent at an age at which Hagler was done for. Golovkin's best form was untested vs champions like Martinez or Sturm because they were all hiding behind the potplants.
