    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.

    No contest. At 15 rounds hagler might get stopped.

    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.

    Hagler is too good, too strong, too much for a fellow ATG in Hopkins

    :cheers

    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.
