    MMH. Both great champions but Marvin didn't need the DK influence to help him out in certain situations...

    I'd give slight edge to Hagler.

    I can see how greatness is debatable.

    Pure quality though? A Chavez fan would really have to reach to convince me that Chavez was as good as the early 80s Hagler, because he wasn't.

    I'll take Hagler. I think he was better h2h and a slightly better resume.

    I like Hagler more but Chavez was greater...not sure how to determine which was better if we are using the same terminology

    Hagler. Both. Chavez needed Don King and Kings entire organization to achieve what he did, keeping his record in what was the most blatant of robberies.
