    I like this thread :)
    Hagler is an amazing figher: big heart, power, infinite stamina and durability.. he walks through everything you throw at him and keeps coming.
    Technically speaking, I still think Hopkins is better. Better defensive movements and more elusive, I think he would give Hagler trouble. There's no way he would stop him but I can see him winning a close decision.
    I love both fighters and it would be a very interesting match up.
    See what everyone else thinks..

    I think Hopkin will steal a close decision. Bhop is savvier than leonard and hits harder. His footwork, defense, will make it look like ray vs hagler except more. Bhop is also a master clincher and will hold hagler if hagler tries to start something. Hagler can be outboxed and bhop is very capable of doing that. I think Hagler is great bc he is able to end things in dominating fashion.

    A better question would be Tyson vs Ali, as we haven't had that one yet.

    160. Hagler never did move up in weight.

    I know, its just I thought we were going to have one of those awful mixed weight "fantasy" matchups. I honestly think this is 50/50 at MW and as such can't really make an educated choice, toss of coin says Hagler UD, but very close.

    Hagler, though Hopkins would be in the fight, but I think the early rounds would do the trick for Hagler he is a fast starter and does big damage when he lands, Hopkins starts off usally late in fights, Dont know what happend saturday though Hopkins seemed reborn.

    but at 160 I have to say Marvin takes this fight probably drops Hopkins once or twice
