    How do you see this fight going? I know Marvin was a monster at 160 but Chris had a granite chin, intelligent style and is a fair puncher.

    Hagler by a wide margin. Big differance in class between these two.

    I loved Eubank but Hagler would walk through him every time. Wouldn't stop him though, Eubank had one of the best chins I've ever seen. Hagler by wide UD.

    I grew up watching Eubank, probably my favourite British fighter, but he aint beating Hagler, different level, infact I saw Eubank fight a southpaw in Dan Schommer, he got a gift in a fight he should of lost, which he admitted in his book, now you might ask, who is Dan Schommer? exactly!


    If Eubank tried to apply pressure, I see him getting picked off, as he tended to reach a lot when he attacked, he was also not a very active fighter so asking him to up the heat/pressure, would most probably not work, if he could draw Hagler foward and play counter puncher he might be able to take advantage of Hagler's plodding footwork by jumping in with the occasional right hand, but for the most part I see Hagler coming foward and outboxing him from behind his right jab, building a momentum of pressure as the fight wears on, and Eubank starting to get tired because he does not like fighting at someone else's pace.

    I'm a huge Eubank fan, but even I have to admit Hagler would have his life.

    Eubank was naturally bigger and might have been able to overpower him. Hagler definitely aint stopping Eubanks.

    Hagler all the way
    Wide UD if not late TKO. Eubank did have a great chin but Hagler is just so ferocious and relentless

    Hagler was an animal. The animal would prey on the peacock

    Theres far LESSER middles in history than Hagler that woulda kicked Eubank's overrated ass.
