Hagler-Trindad at MW

This fight is a mismatch, Any version of Hagler would finish him inside of 10 rounds (It's about styles, skills and attributes).

I think a better matchup would be the Duran that beat Moore and Barclay vs Tito at 154, Though I think Tito loses to Duran in a great fight at that weight though, assuming Duran shows up motivated.

 

Hagler would destroy trinidad. Marv had great boxing skills & would eventually wear tito down. Hagler overall was a far superior fighter to tito. I doubt Tito could of beaten any of the fab 4 of the 80's hagler, leonard, hearns & duran.

 

If we are talking about prime versions of each fighter, there's no way that the Leonard fight should enter into the equation. Nor should Hearns or Duran, for that matter, although at least that was closer to Marvin's best.

The 1980-81 Hagler bores into Trinidad, keeps him off-balance and delivers a career-altering beating. Tito would take too much punishment in this fight.

I don't see what Trinidad does to trouble Hagler at all.

 

If we were talking prime there would be no need to comment on hagler v tito as prime tito was at 147! But they all fought at 160 & we're successful.

 

Trinidad was not a top MW and would to pretty much any ATG MW and many not so great. His reputation allowed Hopkins to build himself up but Hopkins always knew it was not going to be a difficult job.

Trinidad was a top welter and that's where he should be matched.

This would look like Monzon-Napoles only worse.

 

Close decision for Hagler. Trinidad will be competitive, and Hagler will be cautious when he feels Tito's power.

 

He was not cautious with Hearns' power. Marvin would walk right through Tito.

 

He was totally scared of Briscoe's power (compare it with Monzon and Valdez fights), as well as he didn't like Leonard's sharp punching. Only a fool thinks Halger had a destroyer mentality.

 

It was the body shots that made Hagler back off from Briscoe, that and the fact that Bennie was something of an unmoveable object. I certainly don't think he was scared.

I struggle to think of a MW champion that Trinidad could beat.

 

Joppy?

 

Like I said, see Monzon and Valdez vs Briscoe, then compare it with Hagler's fight.

 

Champion rather than glorified challenger, please.

 

See Hagler-Hearns and ask yourself if Trinidad punches harder than Hearns.

If we're going to play this game, that is.

 

I know where you're coming from but even so I don't think it has much bearing on Hagler-Trinidad. Trinidad was never as durable and would very quickly wilt in an extended exchange with Hagler.

Marvin was also quite light for a MW and was not the strongest physically. Briscoe was strong in the clinch...Trinidad is not comparable.

 

A sweeping statement,Mugabo was kod3 times ,by Hagler,an atg,a division above him,by Norris and McClle,both very good puynchers,tkod by Thomas and stopped twice at LH when he was 38 and 39,not a china chin,Certainly he wasnt dropped as many times as Trinidad ,and not by people like Kevin Lueshing.
