Marvin Hagler takes on prime Hill as Hearns did, prime Hagler vs prime Hill. Hagler doesn’t have to get up to 175lbs, he fights at whatever you think is the best weight for him to come in at. Who wins this matchup?
Marvin never gets past that jab. Virgil by wide UD unless he busts open Hagler’s scar tissue and gets a cuts stoppage, which is a real possibility.
Hill isn't Michael Spinks and I think Hagler is live in this matchup. Problem is Hagler would be coming into this no more than 166 - 168 pounds is my guess. Which he never has carried around that much weight. He would have to walk thru, fire off his combos, and take his chances. My money is on Hagler as a 2 to 1 underdog in it.
Its possible Hagler wins since Hill can't really punch and he beat Hearns, but he's never faced anyone that big
Really does depend on which version of Hagler that showed up. If we get the overthinking version as we saw him against Duran and Leonard against the style of boxing Hill used, I'd expect Hagler to lose a decision . If we got the relentless version of Hagler, as we saw against Hearns or Minter, I believe Hagler grinds him down for a late ko, or outworks Hill for the UD.
I'll take the far far far better fighter despite the lack of fights at the weight. Hagler is so much better and a far more skilled two handed fighter. A dozen pounds or whatever isn't going to make for a Hill he can't climb. Great fighters routinely beat good fighters while being far outweighed when such fights were common practise.
