Both in their prime who wins this one?? I really find it hard to pick a winner but i think hopkins on sheer defensive craft edges this one although hagler could KO hopkins. Who you got and how would that fight play out??
Hopkins. Hopkins is just a smarter fighter, he might not be as physically gifted but he's crafty enough to easily win over 12 rounds.
While I think Hopkins fares better in this mythical match-up than I'd have envisioned several years back, I still cannot see Hagler losing this one.
You kidding Hopkins gets his ass beat here maybe thorws himself on the floor and cries foul a couple of times to save himself from being KO ed.
Congratulations, this is easily the most ******ed post I have read today. as good as hopkins is, I would always favour hagler to beat him
B Hop would win, he is a better boxer.... smarter, taller, more adaptable, better defense etc...he has everything over Hagler except punching power.
It seems that many only remember the flat-footed Hagler that destroyed Hearns, which was what Hagler morphed into after ruining his knees by doing all of his roadwork in combat boots. Prime Hagler was the complete package with maybe the exception of exceptional handspeed. Hagler had lateral movement, accuracy, power, a jaw of iron, and a methodical patience to break his opponents down. As good is B-hop is, I wouldn't lay money on him in this contest....well...maybe a 100/1 odds.
Hopkins just too wily here Haggler has amazing boxing skills Iron chin And good timing Bhop wins in a close ud decision I can't think of many men that could have actually beaten prime Bhop
As hard as it is to believe that a chin can be better than hagglers, i'd agree with this. Ill make a poll.
