    Marvelous Marvin Hagler vs Tony Zale, Both Prime, 15 Rounds. Will The Man Of Steel Zale employ the same strategy as Vito Antuofermo did, that resulted in a 15 round draw for Hagler? Or will Hagler out box Tony?

    Would be a tough, bruising physical affair but one that I ultimately believe Hagler would win with his versatility not to mention Zale didn't see many southpaws back then.

    One more thing and this drives me crazy. Anytime I see Zale discussed on here someone always brings up the Cerdan fight that he looked terrible in. That was literally the last fight of his career and he was shot at that point. Look at his early fights and you will see what a beast Zale was. One of the greatest body punchers ever!

    Marvin ends up bruised and battered in a classic battle. Zale tough guy goes all out, to get a win over marvelous. But ultimately, it's Hagler who gets a ko.
    Hagler ko 14 Zale.

    Ill take Hagler to win this one. He can switch to southpaw and Zale would be up against an ATG southpaw with punching power and an ATG chin.
