Calslappy's name should never appear this close to Hagler's. Who on Slappy's resume makes you think he even belongs in the same ring as Marvelous, much less stands a chance of beating him?

I doubt the fight would go past six rounds, unless Slappy comes in wearing track shoes and the ring is 30 feet plus.

Don't forget Calslappy's body amour.

:good

And I can't stand Hagler....but to even think the "Welsh Rabbit" and his pitty patty would have a chance is laughable.

So all these tough Philly fighters :dead, were rated higher than Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Minter, Mugabi etc. I thought not

Knockdowns happen sometimes dummy. Dawson, Ward and Dirrell all got put down by journeymen and Hopkins got put down TWICE by Mercado. So lets not pretend Calzaghe was hurt, he was caught by a straight punch when standing square on, but lets remember he was straight up unhurt and pressed the rest of the round.

A disputed win where Taylor was lucky not to be KOd first time round.
Hopkins had a style weakness to fast 2 handed fighters, and although Hagler was a great of his time, I think he would have lost to Taylor and Hopkins also. This dosent diminish anything Hagler achieved and I hold him in higher esteem than Hopkins and Taylor, but think he would have been beaten

Hopkins was beaten by Calzaghe at LHW, a weight where Hopkins was stronger and sandwiched between Hopkins best wins of Tarver, Wright and Pavlik. Hopkins was Ring champ and P4P #3. If Hopkins is so past it, why do so many pick him to beat Pascal or want that fight to happen?

Calzaghe easily beats Hagler at SMW. It ould be an easy easy UD.
Live with it and except it that NOBODY beat Calzaghe

Those tough Philly middles are the ones that got Hagler into prominence,dummy.Bad Bennie Briscoe,for example,would have had Minter and Mugabi for ****ing dinner.And even though he wasn't a GREAT fighter,he had a puncher's chance against any middle in history.You have Taylor beating Hagler and your calling me dummyatsch?Next you'll be saying prime (****ing SERIOUSLY exposed)Pavlik-he that beat prime Taylor TWICE including once by brutal knockout-would beat Marv,too.Seriously,Hagler would have knocked Taylor and Pavlik right the **** out.Btw,have you ever seen Hagler fight,other than the Leonard bout?Even Hopkins,who was a terrific middle,but his resume pails in comparison to Hagler's.Also,Calzaghe had a very good chin,but was put down,what,a few times in his career by people that certainly weren't punchers on the level of Hagler.Hopkins' people are DELUSIONAL if they think he's going to beat Pascal.He looked like shite beating the corpse of Roy Jones.I can't imagine how he's still held this high in regard at this point when he's lost 3 fights in his what,last 10?And as far as Calzaghe being undefeated,good for him as he was a great fighter.I don't have a problem with it as I'm not a hater.But I was a fan until he proved himself to be a lying ****ing tosser.:good

Calzaghe wasnt prime when beating Lacy and would have schooled a prime Hagler then. No, I am not comparing Lacy to Hagler, but Lacy Hagler would have been a good hard fight, that I think Hagler would have won, but Calzaghe would clearly beat any version of Hagler easily

A further note. You say Hagler was shot against Leonard, which was a close fight against a fighter that went on to win a SMW title. You only say Hagler was shot because he lost. If he had of won it would have been a different story.

Calzaghe UD

WRONG.I followed Hagler's career and knew he was shot because I actually SAW the Mugabi and Roldan fights and saw with my own 2 eyes how far his reflexes and footspeed had diminished.He looked like he was moving in quicksand compared to his earlier career.Leonard knew he was shot,too.That's why avoided him all those years even though he discussed fighting Marv on several occasions.All you have to do is look at the Roldan and Mugabi fights and compare those with earlier Hagler and you'll see the difference in Marv.That's all you have to do if you're willing to be open minded.If not,then that's your problem.Mugabi was landing shots left and right that Marv would have easily slipped just a couple of years before.Honestly,judging from the contents of your posts,it seems the only Hagler fight you ever saw was the Leonard fight.And by the way,when Leonard won a 168 belt,he also won a lightheavy bout that night against the alphabet beltholder Donny LaLonde that Leonard had weightdrained to supermiddle in order to get 2 belts at once.And Lacy would have given Marv a hard fight?He would have gotten his ass kicked against Marv.He has NOTHING on his resume that indicates otherwise.NOTHING.
Hagler UD against Calzaghe as Hagler has a granite chin and Calzaghe's is pretty damn good,too,so no one gets knocked out.

Marvin Hagler on Joe Cazlaghe:

"I knew the first time I saw Calzaghe that he really had something, he went in there completely unfazed against (Chris) Eubank which nobody else had done. Eubank was the guy who usually seemed to have control of everything around him but the way Calzaghe went in there and manhandled him like that...

"Calzaghe showed and proved power, speed, strength, workrate, stamina, chin, heart and every tangible and intangible that night and that's why I'm not suprised that he's not lost since.

"Sometimes it's like watching a welterweight or junior-middleweight in a super-middleweight's body because he's so nimble and sharp handed. I would never bet against him."

Marvin practically admitting who would have won if they`d met. Straight from the horses mouth,doesn`t get clearer than that.

Jimbob · Dec 11, 2010

Ignore bailey, he probably thinks Mario Veit would also give Hagler a hard fight.

pacpowerpellet · Dec 11, 2010

im still in shock that someone would even compare calslappy to hagler

No,he didn't.He simply gave JC well deserved props.But if that's how you want to interpret those statements,feel free to do so.

Would you expect anything else?

Round1gymDC · Dec 11, 2010

one has highlights fighting Euro bums the other one is knocking out top competition, please stop this lmao

Comparing Calzaghe to Hagler is like comparing Jose Luis Castillo to Roberto Duran, ie a good fighter from the 2000s to one of the greatest fighting machines of all-time.

Dumb thread. Hagler would jab Joe C into the next century, and completely outbox, outfight and outclass him 10 times out of 10.

I dont think Pavlik would have beaten Hagler, wrong style, and I was wrong to say Taylor, as Hagler would be able to counter that style, but I think any MW version of Hopkins including the one who lost to Taylor would beat Hagler.
KDs happen. Calzaghe was never close to being KOd, he always got straight up and attacked, never needing to hold. I also think a LHW Jones and Hopkins punch harder than the MW Hagler, but Calzaghe would have no trouble taking Haglers punches.
Hopkins has a great chin, but got put down TWICE by Mercado, that dosent mean he would get stopped by a bigger puncher.
Ward, Dawson, Dirrell etc all got put down by journeymen, so does that mean they are all brittle? Of course not.
How did Calzaghe prove himself to be a tosser to you?
Still Calzaghe would easily win by UD

Coming from a poster of your quality level, that is as sweet a compliment as one can hope to receive. Thank you for this concrete ESB endorsement that I am still speaking the truth, troll. :good

The guy is a ****ing numbskull. Makes it no secret that he cannot stand Calzaghe, yet doesn't hesitate for a SECOND to make a post about him. Even reads his autobiography.

What a tool.

Boxfan00115 · Dec 11, 2010

Much as I like Joe

Marvelous Marvin Hagler would knock the feck clean out of him. KO in about the 4th round.
