1970s Eddie Mustapha Muhammad vs Marvelous Marvin Hagler, 160

Hagler on points, this wasn’t Mustafa Muhammad’s best weight, he was green there.

 

Yes this is easy: Hagler at 160 (decision) and EMM at 175 (possibly KO, we just don’t know how Marvin would stand up in that division to guys so much more naturally bigger … and Eddie had some pop.

 

Eddie was a huge puncher , big right hand.

 

Marvin by UD.

 

Hagler...better..busier..Hagler UD

 

Eddie was "around" middleweight for 21 fights. In his 15th fight he was leading prime Bennie Briscoe before Briscoe came back, aided by a cut to win a split decision. This is an exceptional performance at that career stage.

You have to take peak Hagler over Eddie, that's a given. Match them fairly at the 15-20 fight stage however, and i am taking Eddie, absolutely.
