    How does the formidable boxer-puncher who cannot be beaten on the inside, only via jabbers who can move well as seen by Giardello and Griffith and only stopped once in his career at the age of 38 weighing 168 (a super middleweight) pounds and stood at 5'6 being outweighed/outsized by Bob Foster. The same year his beloved nation was in civil war (Tiger is an Igbo and part of the Biafran state who wanted to secede from Nigeria) and ultimately died of Cancer in 1961.

    How does D1ck Tiger handle Hagler's middleweight opposition? here are my results

    Alan Minter = TKO cuts
    Obelmejias = TKO
    Hamsho = TKO Cuts
    Caveman Lee = KO
    Obelmejias II = TKO
    Antufuermo II = TKO Cuts
    Hamsho II = TKO Cuts
    Sibson = TKO Cuts

    Scipion = TKO

    Duran = Monster in fighter vs Tiger who can't be beaten on the inside ? UD 15 Win for Tiger

    Roldan = Rugged slugger, I would say Tiger wins U15 points

    Hearns = His power won't affect Tiger for the majority of the match given how Tiger handled Carter/Fernandez - I believe Hearns will forget to outjab Tiger and foolishly fight him on the inside, look at how Kinchen bothered him so I would say TKO Tiger

    Mugabi = Slugfest, competitive but Tiger wins comfortably via points

    Leonard of 1987 = SD win for Leonard for his ring generalship, prime Leonard wins UD

    Tiger has the better middleweight names on his resume than Hagler.

    P.s watch this bout between Tiger vs Hank one of the best middleweight bouts of all time that has been televised

    Vito Antuofermo gives him about as much as he can handle if Tiger doesn't get a lucky cut, Vito has a similar pressure and toughness to Fullmer. Tiger close decision

    Mugabi would have a good chance of stopping the aging Tiger

    Hearns has a good chance of boxing for a UD, Tiger never had the power Hagler had

    Leonard boxes a much more clear decision over the aging Tiger

    I think Tiger has a much rougher trip than Hagler did.

    People seem to think Hagler was a slugger for some reason, but he really wasn't. He was a very versatile switch hitter who could always seem to find the right formula to really frustrate his opponents. The fact that he was as hard as iron and could slug were the gravy on top.

    Tiger seems much less impressive than Hagler as a boxer on film. He was a physical presence, but I bet guys like Minter, Hearns, Duran and Leonard give him a boxing lesson.

    I think he has some major problems.

    Tiger had trouble with the movers but he is kind of fortunate there wasn't a lot of movers Hagler faced in that championship run. He faced some on the way up though.

    I think guys like Obelmajias or Scypion can score the upset. And the attrition factor will enter into the picture eventually just like it did with Marvin. So Tiger is not being the old reflexes guy and going 3-0 against Hearns/Mugabi/Leonard.

    And that's if he can make it that far making a ton of successful defenses. I do not think he can. Hang tough--you bet.

    Hearns could be the one who beats him. I can even see a foster type ko from the Hit man. But if Tiger gets as far as the Beast he's done well.

    Does better against the sluggers etc. but has massive trouble with Duran and especially Hearns.
