    Is the Classic Forum consensus that Marvin Hagler rates higher than Bernard Hopkins or does Bhop rate higher?

    Discuss.

    P4P it is close.....in my humble opinion....
    At MW Hagler is higher, no doubt in my view !

    Hopkins could certainly pose some stylistic problems to hagler.

    I`d pick Hagler in an ATG sense or in a H2H sense.

    I think Hopkins would edge it if they fought.

    As a middleweight Hagler ranks slightly higher, but overall what Hopkins has done at light heavy has to be taken into account, which might tip it for him p4p.

    Marvin was the greater middleweight. Hopkins style is better suited for moving up and down.
