Mavin Hagler Eats Bernard Hopkins

Hahahaha, i have wondered what happened to him actually. He just disappeared. Hope things are ok for him. Don't take offense at my exposing of you and your methods, no hard feelings. You're a necessary evil around here

:good

 

WOW...that is a good post.

:good

 

It was a great post, but i can't agree with the stopping him late possibility. Even tho i favour Hopkins Hagler ain't getting stopped in this one. Cuts would be the only way.

 

This post needs to end .
There is no way in hell Hopkins beats Hagler. NO WAY IN HELL!

 

You mean it's a good work of fiction

 

Hopkins recently added to his resume the Light Heavyweight title. Not bad for somebody who can only throw arm punches. I don’t see Hagler being able to do that in his era. Hopkins is a very versatile and adaptable fighter, he would frustrate Hagler and Marvin would keep plugging away as the rds slipped away.

 

Versatile yes. But up to a point. Why wasn't he versatile enough to win more than 3 rounds from Roy Jones jr? Maybe a good punch would have helped him out.

He certainly didn't get anywhere against an acid test like Jones jr. All other foes were just so-so but the second title at an old age helps his rep that much more so that he seems more than what he really is.

That's what people here love about me-my brutal honesty.

 

Hopkins fought in a much weaker era of lt heavies than marvin....Can you imagine hop taking a lt heavy strap with spinks and the quality that was around in spinks' reign?
Taking a weak lt heavy champ does not necessarily improve your status as a middle,is nigel benn an atg middle because he also won a super middle title? Hopkins has a style to beat many guys but his resume is lacking and he did not fight the best...The man should have bust a gut to rematch jones,and fight toney,calzaghe,g-man,eubank,jackson or some decent prime lt heavies...He benefited from a relatively poor middleweight scene...At least marvin took on all comers...
And losing twice or being run close by taylor doesnt speak a lot for hoppo does it......? Anybody see even the 1987 marvin losing to taylor twice in a row?
Marvins opposition is also better,nobody on hopkins record would trouble marvin at all except for possibly jones.....You think hoppo easily beats hearns,leonard,duran etc....?

 

.....You think hoppo easily beats hearns,leonard,duran etc....?
No maybe not easily but then again Hagler struggled with each of these.

 

Yes hagler struggled with each of these but he beat two of them and had a competitive fight with leonard...Im not sure if hoppo could beat any of them decisively,and my point was more that marvin would beat all of hops opponents easily with the exception of possibly jones....Hagler would not struggle with bernards middle challengers,wheras i think bernard would definately struggle with haglers,even those challengers outside of marvins big three atg opponents....
