    Hagler by UD. The Licker would push him all the way though.

    The Turpin that beat Ray Robinson ?
    That would be a tough tough fight for Marvin Hagler.

    I wouldn't like to pick a winner. it would be a great fight that's all i can say.

    S,don't be too sure that Hagler beats a peak Randy Turpin. As posted before ,I sawTurpin cut, and give Ray Robinson hell for 10 rounds in 1951, their second fight..He was a strong and awkward puncher Randy was.
    In the 10th rd Ray Robinson, with a badly cut eye, and worried that the referee might stop the bout, unleashed a desperate attack on Randy who bravely took many murderous punches, until the ref stopped the bout.
    Before Turpin developed emotional problems, i believe that he would decision Hagler,as Randy did with Ray Robinson in their first bout in London.. Close bout I believe...
