    I agree with lightsout Bernard wouldve whoop Hagler Sugar Ray and Hearns. It is easy to see that. That's a no brainer

    Lenoards not one dimensional but haglar comes forward and its a batlle of will power. Hearns only had a jab and right hand hopkins would totally kick his ass

    Yeah that's what I was thinking too, there are some major exaggerations in this thread so it's hard to even bother with an educated response to such nonsense. I would love to see B-Hop vs those legends, but we never will. B-Hop a legend in his own right would at least hold his own, but saying he would walk through them, well it sounds childish.

    He has made interesting threads. Keep it up lightsout I also believe hopkins fighting style would be too much. The rough housing head butt elbows would drive these 80 boxers craZy. Hagler I know bernard would open up a cut on his head and work it over until the ref stops the fight

    I am one of the foremost James Toney fans on this forum (or at least I like to think I am), and I'm embarrassed by your comments.

    The very idea that B-Hop would "destroy" Hagler is utterly, utterly ******ed. How the **** could someone who fights like B-Hop "destroy" someone with the iron chin, physical strength and steel will of a Hagler? It doesn't make sense at all.

    You're a ****ing moron. Wipe your chin then log out. :good

    Ooh Hagler that got beat by Sugar Ray who set out five years because of his eye retina decided to come back beat Hagler and send him into retirement. This is the guy that can beat Hopkins umm I see tell me more. Im pretty sure Leonard wouldnt have came out of retirement and fought hopkins without some tune-up fights but please do continue i enjoy your analysis

    How did leonard sit on the sideline 5 years and comeback and beat Hagler. If Leonard could sit out that long and win,Hopkins will kill Hagler.I guarantee sugar ray couldn't stay out 5 years and beat hopkins matter of fact he wouldn't have even fought Hopkins.Hopkins would have been too much for these guys

    not destroy them, but any WW that tried to be a MW got battered by Hopkins.

    Hagler at 5ft9 is shorter than most of Hopkins opposition.

    Hopkins use of range, either too close or just out of reach, would have been enough to win majority of the rounds vs Hagler.
