    He definitely could (look what Leonard did off a 3 year layoff). Hagler would have had a puncher's chance of course. The better question is, could Hagler hit the son of a *****?

    Exactly, and people forget how many experts (Steward being one of them) gave Baldomir a real chance of winning because of his size advantage. When Jones fought Ruiz 9 out of 20 respected writers picked Ruiz by knockout. After Jones dominated him, they simply said "well Ruiz sucked, so it's not a great accomplishment". People suck!!

    Sorry, but this is absurd.

    I have to stop you here and tell you to go ahead and slap yourself.

    :patsch

    This is probably one of the worsts posts in ESB history.

    You're talking about Floyd going up to middleweight and beating arguably the best middlweight in history who has a victory over Hearns and a debatable decision loss to SRL when Hagler was way past his prime.

    Yet, somehow Floyd has the stick to keep a prime Hagler off of him? ****, I doubt that Floyd would be able to keep the Hagler that fought SRL off of him. Floyd is too small and I don't think he has nearly the courage that SRL does.

    Who was Floyd more effective against, Gatti or Corrales? Better yet, was Mayweather effective against Gatti?

    This sentance doesn't make much sense.

    It doesn't hurt you either. He beat all of those guys with ease at WW. Floyd has easily beaten every guy he's faced at WW. I fail to see how Floyd beating up on Judah proves that he can't beat Robinson. I not saying he could beat Robinson, but that all has to do with styles and each fighters strenghts and weaknesses. If Floyd was struggling at WW you would have a point, but he hasn't

    Hagler was great, but he was not the best Middleweight ever. Hopkins in his prime would have beaten him. He had trouble with slick boxers. Mayweather is smaller, but not by that much. He is an inch shorter and has a 26 inch arm length. Mayweather is so much quicker and has such amazing defense that I would have given him more than a 50% chance of winning. Hagler would have had a puncher's chance, nothing more. He couldn't fight going backwards, and would have been eating tons of leather from all angles. Mayweather would have outboxed and outfoxed him.

    Reg, did you really say Fraud dominated Judah??? Sure he clearly won but I had it 8-4 and considering Judah deserved a point for the KD that wasnt counted it was a fairly close fight.

    You need to stop acting like a Fraud groupie and act like a boxing fan.

    He has not struggled but he has not looked nearly as impressive nor has he dominated his opponents to the same extent.

    This is quite possibly the worst statement in the whole thread.

    What is it about Marvin Hagler that makes people completely ignorant to his style as a fighter?

    I agree, but you can't really question his courage so much considering he fought Hearns and Duran at their peak more or less.

    But since he did run......

    What does that say about Hagler?

    Hagler was not great at fighting backwards. Like most southpaws, he fought going forward. He had more ability to fight going backwards than Hatton or Tyson, but compared to Floyd give me a ****in break!! Can you honestly tell me that Hagler had the boxing ability that even Hearns had? Even he knew he didn't, and that's why he fought him in the pocket. Mayweather is an even better boxer than Hearns was, and at least as good as Leonard was with better defense to boot.

    Besides the 2nd and the 4th, tell me what good rounds Judah had. Round 1 was a feel out round. Round 3 was clearly a Floyd round. Rounds 5-10, Judah was pummeled. Round 11 was another Floyd round. Round 12 Judah did nothing, but Floyd didn't do much either. The only reason Judah wasn't pummeled after the 10th was because he smashed Floyd's crotch and set off a riot. I was rooting for Zab in that fight, but he was clearly dominated. Round 2 was the only round that you had to give to Judah.
