    Classic MW match-up between two ATGs of the division, both prime & meeting at 160. Haglers supreme pressure against B-Hops wilyness and ring generalship.

    Who would take it and why?

    I voted:
    Hagler via U/D

    Too much work rate & pressure for Hopkins.
    Would have been a great fight, Too bad for era's.

    Agreed, I think Hopkins edges him out in a close decision, he would slow him up and find a way to beat him ... too cagey and too smart for Hagler in the end. Neither is getting KO'd though.

    Joking right? Hagler by UD - too much pressure from Marvin - plus he's a difficult guy to bully with Hopkins-like tactics. Close fight but Hagler takes it.

    close fight but i feel hagler takes this one...it's hard to give close rounds to the dirty fighter...look, three of hopkins closest fights went against him...you can also add the jones fight

    Hagler on points, cuzz logically the fight should be close, and the judges can't give Hopkins a close fight to save his life...

    Hagler ud. Marvin had that ability to hit you when you thought you were out of range. Couple that with handspeed, accuracy and tremendous pressure he should take a hard earned but clear ud.

    Tough, tough call. I'd say Hagler by UD. Pressure all the way.

    **** you, Hagler couldn't even beat a WW coming off a two year retirement and struggled with Mugabi. Hopkins slices and dices Hagler all night long.
