    Hagler TKO, especially if it was a 15 rounder like they fought back in his day.

    i think thats fair. Joe tends to win the second half of fights when his opponents tire, which wouldn't be the case against Marvin. I think it's fair to say that Hagler would win a close but clear decision. maybe 7-5 or 8-4. If he fought 10 times, Marvin would win 6 or 7. just my opinion though. Calzaghe has the stuff to beat Marvin if MArvin was not at his best.

    Has Calzaghe ever been tired in a 12 round fight? I don't know if it is fair or not to say he couldn't handle 15 rounds.

    Never thought of it that way, but you have got a point.

    Depends when they fought for me Calzaghe was better 8 years ago but the size difference would also be significant. Calzaghe is what 6'0"-6'1" where as hagler was 5'9" and unlike Hearns he wasn't someone who got bigger with age but is naturally bigger.

    Then again Hagler was awesome I would have loved to have seen this fight.

    Yep, Hagler would not only have greater power, but he would have double the power of Joe! :D

    Just messing with you man. ;)

    It's no biggie. I'm right now undecided about this. In the begining I picked Hagler by TKO, but now I'm not so sure.

    you've mentioned power twice - also a young Calzaghe was not the light puncher we see today but actually was heavy handed. Lets not forget he knocked down Eubank who to quote Nigel Benn had a 'granite chin'.

    Orginally it was a typo, but I think I'm going to let stay. Maybe Hagler has twice the power.:lol: On a serious note, even when Calzaghe was younger his power was good, but I believe it was never up to par with Hagler's.

    Hagler was a monster, but could Calzaghe contain the monster? Lets ask Enzo.

    I think Calzaghe is too quick and takes this by UD.
