    Can Hagler apply enough pressure to steal enough rounds or does he get outboxed? Who wins this matchup?

    Kalambay would actually give Hagler alot of problems he's a slick mobile counter puncher and Hagler didn't fight many fighters with that type of stylistic challenge in his title reign.

    I'd favour Hagler based on his reputation and i'd probably favour him to stop Kalambay late on.

    But it all depends honestly what type of fight Hagler fights because if he fights Kalambay the way he did Duran for example Kalambay could easily upset him over the distance.

    Forgive me for saying that best for best, Hagler is rather better than Kalambay.

    Hagler gets a late ko.
