    You know, I don't have a problem if somebody favours Hagler off the bat, no problems at all. Picking an ATG is not a big deal.

    But this Hagler TKO 5 bull**** is absurd.

    Hagler would rightfully be a clear underdog outright and he's fighting a terrible style for him in this fantasy match up with Joe.

    How can Hagler's ATG status be questioned? I rate him better than Hopkins, even though I'd pick a prime Hopkins to beat him close in a 15 rounder. Hagler's resume is fantastic, it's much better than Hopkins' is.

    My MW ATG list goes as -

    1.Monzon
    2.Hagler
    3.Hopkins

    And back to Duran, on top of all that, I'd favour his 154 and 160 versions over any of the guys in the divisions today.

    If you can go close with Marvin Hagler, you can certainly easily beat Taylor, Pavlik, Abraham and the 154 crew, oh, and Winky.

    it wasnt a close fight at all, 10-5 hagler. Duran lost to kirklaind laing and robbie sims, im sure pavlik and taylor would have a really good chance at beating him.

    Joe's size and speed are the keys here. He matches up well. I like him by competitive decision.

    And SRL?

    These are two big fights and he was **** against both.

    Sure Hagler is a legend, righfully so.

    But he is a lower end legend, below SRL, below Duran and below the bigger Calzaghe.

    Love it:D Now youre trying to discredit him by claiming he pretends hes bigger than he really is. Having met the guy, i can confirm he is approximately the same height as me...and im 6ft.

    Nice try though, he doesnt look it, and fighters often lie about their height:rofl

    Congratualtions. You are the most clueless poster on the thread.

    Clazaghe struggled with Pudwill? Which round did he struggle in? The 10-7 first round, or the round he stopped him?

    Below Calzaghe pound-for-pound? Your opinion just stopped counting on this thread. :-(

    I suppose Jeff Lacy and Mikkel Kessler are better than Thomas Hearns and Roberto Duran. This forum is going down the toilet with **** like this getting posted.

    Well said :good

    Even with the effective two weight divisions difference (as someone earlier pointed out), I cant believe the number of people going for Calzaghe. Extraordinary!

    Have Al Qaeda poisened the water supply and sent everyone nuts or something :nut
