Marvin Hagler, The Thread.

Good post. The line about Monzon resonated. Although he isn't my favourite fighter, I find him the most intriguing and elusive of them all - which is saying a lot, considering how many outsized personalities there have been in boxing. Whatever you think of him stylistically, he was an absolute BOSS in there.

 

Dopamine surge every time I see this thread get bumped.

 

I voted none of the above although Monzon would have been a good test for him before Hagler creams him

The Briscoe fight, you could tell hagler was holding back on him, and thus fighting only at half speed

Hopkins, although industrious, has no chance

The only real question mark would be Greb (no film available)

His lone weakness is when unmotivated for an opponent, would appear mechanical as he was for Geraldo

 

look how he keeps his left low. He wouldnt get away with that with Hagler

Hagler, with his superior movement & defense, would just pick him apart from long distance, simillar to the Sibson fight

 

Would you guys give Marshall a chance at winning a decision?

 

A chance, yeah, though I wouldn't make him favourite at 160lbs. It would get really interesting at 168/175lbs, though.
