    Going with Tarver who beat RJJ. Tarver is a southpaw too and much bigger.

    Tarver by close but unanimous. Tarver just a little to big. But Hagler makes it uncomfortable for tarver all the way.

    Tarver is obviously taller and a natural lightheavyweight, but he and Hagler have the same reach.

    Tarver would come in around 185 lbs + and Hagler around 170 lbs.
    Probably by time enter the ring Tarver 20 lbs heavier. See what a
    difference this makes watch Golovkin vs Jacobs.
    Tarver not aggressive opponent so Hagler would have to force the action .
    Tarver would get on his bicycle and clinch when Hagler catches him. Combined
    with Tarver size this would be a snooze fest. Tarver on points.

    I don't think light heavyweight would agree with Hagler...but with that said, Hagler could possibly come in lighter and retain his mobility. I can't see Tarver stopping Marvin...and Marvin would not coast just to lose a decision. I think Hagler could do it.
    Hagler by decision.

    Whilst Hagler is clearly a superior fighter to Tarver, he would only be allowed to weigh 160 pounds in this fight whereas Tarver is allowed to weigh 185.
