    i agree hes better than graziano but dont think he was as good as the durable lamotta.maybe even but the edge here goes to lamotta.

    He had more skills than Graziano but Rocky would still be one of the hardest punchers that Hagler faced ( hearns may have hit harder?) Lamotta is a more skilled and harder hitting version of Vito A. and I think the pressure that Jake would put on would be too much for Hagler...Jake by UD

    Pretty much no one stops Hagler at middleweight...His chin was rock solid.

    He would have schooled Graziano on the way to a mid round stoppage...far to technically superior.

    I think he would be to well rounded for Jake...Lamotta would pressure him something fierce but would get picked off to often and lose a 10-5 sort of verdict at best IMO.

    summed it up perfect


    A prime hagler beats LaMotta by out boxing him. Although hagler never had to cope with pressure as much as jakes and he did fade against pressure from Vito. I think in his prime he would have no problem with the pressure and i think he could out box Jake.

    As for Graziano i think he takes him out quick in a war

    Hagler would just screw Graziano up into a little ball and bounce him around the ring. It'd look like the second Hamsho fight, but worse.

    Hagler Ko's Graziano within round 9.

    Lamotta at his best out-toughs Hagler in a grueling 15 round decision.

    Ah, I'm somewhat of a Jake fan :D

    Hagler stops Graziano within the distance, mid-rounds. Jake LaMotta, due to toughness, will last longer, but come up on the losing end of a UD.
