    I belive I indicated that Hagler would win, and by a wide margin.

    And IMO, Abraham has the better chin.

    But only by a whisker.

    And I wouldn't dispute that point too much.

    :yikes Please, for the love of God, and everything that is good, tell me you're joking. For your own credibility at least. I've always thought you were at least respectable as a poster, so please just let me know this was all a big joke and we can forget this ever happened.

    Marv's chin is in the hall of fame for granite chins.

    Well, Pea, the rhetoric on the thread was a bit much.

    Destruction ? Slaughter ? Murder ?

    It needed some balance !




    Don't forget Abraham is bigger.

    Much bigger.



    And I did say by a whisker, didn't I.

    And I did say I wouldn't dispute the point very much.

    And I did indicate a wide UD for Marvellous Marvin.





    So what more do you want ?

    True that. Im an Abraham fan, but he has a long way to go before he can be compared to Hagler. First and foremost, he has to be the number one middleweight in his era, this means beating Pavlik. If he succeeds in beating Pavlik and somehow fights and beats Hopkins, only then can there be consideration of him possibily beating Hagler.

    Modern size MW (nearly SMW) against an old time MW (would be a JMW these days). Abraham by TKO. It would be similar to the Marquez fight. Smart, patient pressure beating high-output brawling pressure.

    AA would get his jaw busted....again.

    Hagler's chin is just too good.

    :lol:

    Sure AA boxed for a few rounds against Miranda with a broken jaw, but Miranda is ****, as we have seen.

    Comparing AA's chin to Marvins' is plain.....stupid.

    That 'few' was eight and a half, against one of the biggest punchers in the division.

    Very few boxers have that kind of toughness.

    Actually, it isn't.

    And if you read the entire thread and my posts, including my last response to Sweetpea, you might get the idea.

    As I mentioned earlier, this fight goes the distance and I would pick Hagler here by a good margin UD.

    But all things considered, if someone doesn't make it to the final bell, that someone would probably be the considerably smaller Marvin.

    Abraham is getting even more over rated on this thread than he normally is on ESB. Get real. AA is an untested, unproven, european level titlist whose best win was Edison Miranda.

    Haglar would win every round on the way to a highlight reel KO around the 6th or 7th.
