    I don't know.

    I see Marciano lifting a man 30 pounds heavier than him off the mat with his punches but I was told muscle mass gained out of physical prime isn't real, it just a number.

    Joe Louis was a 190 pound man that night in a 213 pound frame.

    Yeah you being here a whole whopping year makes you a seasoned veteran for sure.. And you're right.. Size is irrelevant. Those goofy categories where people are assigned in based on how much they weigh are silly to begin with and have no real purpose.

    So you figure Hagler holds his own here?

    I was employing the use of this thing called " sarcasm." It's the process of using irony to send the opposite message of the semantics of what was actually said. Not everyone's familiar with it but I hear its been around for a while :good

    I was aware of the possibility so I asked the question in a way that could be read either way.

    Hagler vs 178 modern sized middle Marciano, who you got?

    Marciano KO, Hagler would try to fight him, that wouldn't work then he'd try to box him and that wouldn't work, because Marciano wouldn't care about his punches, and Hagler wouldn't easily keep Marciano at range, because Marciano can reach him without having to get inside because he's taller, he'd walk straight through Hagler, weight classes for a reason
