    Prime for prime?

    I honestly believe Tony was the next Hagler. He had all Marv's qualities-raw talent, toughness, power, with an intense rage to match. Ayala feared nothing or nobody.

    Marvin had the edge in experience, though. It is for this reason I give him a very SLIGHT edge. I believe Tony could hang with him, despite his youth, and more than hold his own, given his knack for fisticanery.

    This fight was certain to happen. What a war it would've been. Honestly, this one is too good to name a winner. This 15-round bout ends in a draw, although most will feel Hagler let it slip away. Needless to say, they both **** blood for a week afterward.

    This fight happens around 84 or 85. If it's in 86 or later, Tony wins by UD or maybe even late round TKO.

    Considering how Maldonado was able to drop Ayala, this wouldn't be that much of a contest. Mario was hardly in Hagler's class as a puncher. Tony was at his best with his opponent pinned against the ropes, head in the chest, thumping away with those hooks to the body. Marv would make life miserable for him.

    Hagler - easily. Ayala was but an overgrown playground bully; Hagler was a lean, mean fighting machine on a world class level.

    Tony Ayala is painfully overrated. Hagler would have taken the best he had to offer for 6 or so rounds, when dispatched him the same way he did John Mugabi, only easier.

    Maybe if he got thru Scypion, Parker, Dewitt, Ramos, Hamsho et al; he would have deserved a shot to be beaten by hags. I know he was supposed to be in line for a shot at Moore but regardless. Epps was probably the best he faced, rest were cans.

    But we will never know.

    A prime Hagler outclasses, demoralizes and ultimately KO's Ayala around the 7th and 8th round. Hagler's chin was first rate and could take anything that Tony threw at him and Marvin was a much more complete boxer to boot. Tony would realize very quickly that he is in way over his head and would begin to take a beating after the first couple of rounds. The referee finally calls off the slaughter somewhere around the eighth.

    Ayala wouldn't have a prayer. Hagler by spanking.
