robinson -A prime Hagler wins on the closest of decisions against the great Sugar Ray. Middleweight wasn't Robinson's best weight. If Leonard had a hard time with a past his prime Hagler, I think Hagler's toughness, underrated skills, chin, southpaw jab, and especially breaking down Robinson on the inside would help, but Robinson lands some clean hellacious shots only a superhuman like Hagler would be able to take. SD15 la motta - Hagler keeps him at the end of his jab like he did with Duran. UD15 monzon - This fight would go back and forth. A Draw. toney - Toney would win the first half of the fight, then succumb to Hagler's piston like jab and bodywork. Toney the faster hands, but the shots would only **** Hagler and make him pound on Toney's body. Toney the cleaner punches, Hagler the more active, going forward. Hagler SD15 jones - Jones would use speed and foot movement vs. Hagler. Hagler comes on strong in the last rounds, but Roy would just cruise for the win. Jones MD 15 hopkins - Hopkins wins first 3-4 rounds, then Hagler takes over. Hagler SD15 tito - Tito only knows one way to fight, and Hagler took Tommy's best he can take Tito's double fisted assault. Hagler KO 8 winky - I think Winky would be very competitive in this, but like with Hopkins, Hagler too strong and the body shots would slow down Winky. Hagler UD15 martinez - Martinez would have no choice, but to box circles on Hagler. He'd have success, similiar to Roy Jones, but Jones was still on another level higher than Martinez. Martinez has marathon like stamina. Hagler has that tough as nails stamina like no other. Hagler walks him down and breaks down Sergio. Hagler TKO 12 williams - Similar to Hagler-Hearns. Paul has a better chin tho and it might end up looking more like Hagler-Mugabi. It Williams had a plan to box him from the outside, it might work out well for Williams, but if Hagler finds spots like Quintana and Martinez did, he won't let Williams off the hook and unlike Martinez, he WILL finish and go for the kill against William's lanky frame and topple the giant. Hagler TKO 10
i agree almost fully with this. the two stoppages i had where vs martinez and tito. i think the hopkins that stopped johnson would be able to make a close fight against hagler, one that goes either way. i dont see him stopping williams tho. williams has a good chin. and ya gotta remember hagler couldnt stop leonard nor duran.
kinda like the hopkins from the johnson fight? when he was putting on boxing clinics looking for the big names
Robinson wins. Too fast and hits hard enough to make Hagler think about coming in. Lamotta- Hagler by brutalization. Monzon- Whew, very close, but I think Hagler forces his tempo and wins a close decision. Toney- Hagler easy decision. Toney is not active enough. Jones- Another really close one, but I will give it to Jones. If leonard was able to get around Hagler with speed and footwork, Jones would be able too also, even against a prime Hagler. hopkins- Hagler easy. You have to be moving around the ring to get defensive with hagler. Trying to sit in the pocket and use tricks won't work and Hagler won't be intimidated. Hagler late stoppage. Tito- Hagler ko-5. Winky- Hagler easy decision. Martinez- hagler decision. Williams- hagle ko-4. See hearns. 8-2 Hagler. Though the Jones and Monzon fights are tossups imo. Keith
Hagler had more trouble against defensive fighters than offensive fighters thats why I think Monzon loses Hopkins vs Hagler would be close SD either way. Both fighters didnt enjoy SD's RJJ would run away from Hagler like leonard did Hagler switch hitting troubles Toney early and Hagler wins the last rounds. Lamotta vs Hagler would be a war, but Hagler comes out on top with KO win SRR vs Hagler, the bigger man would win.
