    I'd have to agree.

    The Valentines Day Massacre version of Robinson beats Hagler by UD.

    Sugar Ray Leonard's fight with Hagler was close but I thought Leonard won it.

    Taking nothing away from Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson was a greater fighter than Leonard. It just may follow that Robinson would have defeated Hagler. Hagler was a very good middle but my view is that he is a bit overrated.

    Hagler was not in his prime against leonard though, not even close, yes robinson of la motta 6 v the leonard version of hagler would have beat him pretty easily but he would not have such an easy time v the hagler from around the time he won the title off minter, i still pick sugar but its close

    i think hagler would come out triumphant in a hard fought war over 15 rounds via a real close UD.

    i think aglers harder shots would win him the rounds as robinson would be wary of his power and moving lots. I think SRR would win the early rounds but hagler would use his natural strength in the later rounds to win the fight.

    Robinson was a better puncher than Hagler. How could you matter of factly say, "Hagler's harder shots etc." Robinson was an unbelievable puncher. Look what he did to Fullmer. Basilio said Robinson was the hardest puncher he ever faced.

    im not saying haglers harder shots i didnt mean it that way.

    i mean haglers crisper shots would have more force as rabinson would be moving and punching

    Since he hated Robinson's guts, that should count for something.
