    Now I know that Moore is the favorite here and most likely to win. So it's not a who would win (though if you pick Hagler be my guest) but how would Hagler do in comparison to what Olson did? I for one think he was better than Olson. How tough of a fight could Hagler make it for Moore?

    Olson was usually k.o.'ed by the very top guys.

    Hagler had the chin to last the fight, but lose by UD to Moore.

    He was appreciably better than Bobo ,no one ever put him in the top 4 at160lbs.The only possible snag for Archie is how he handles the rightie stance.I pick Moore with confidence.

    I pick Moore,

    but I think Hagler would do a lot better than Olson, and this would probably be a tough fight for Archie.

    You think Moore would be the one to crack Haglers chin?
