    Hagler can't touch prime RJJ. Bad match up for him.

    How the hell does Jones Jr's glass chin hold up against Hagler? Hagler is better than Tarver!

    Hagler by late KO

    Jones Jr is very overrated on this forum, they talk like his 11 losses, 5 by KO - never even happened.

    Hagler by KO. Jones doesn’t have the Chin or intestinal fortitude to hang in there with someone like Hagler.

    Their chins are so far apart on the opposite ends of the punch resistance scale it would be like traveling from Earth to Alpha Centauri on a milk float getting from to the other

    Jones hits harder, is faster, and has more southpaw experience, those who say Roy will lose just think he’s a mindless speedster when he’s far more than that. In terms of offense Jones is the most unbearable boxer of all time, lightning fast reflexes too. Not saying Hagler winning is not entire possible but, very low chance

    People overrate him once he got older. While I do agree overall that he doesn’t have the best habits, at his peak, he is nigh invincible Andy that’s a fact. Prime for prime he is definitely properly rated and his prime is what most people forget hence the song. Prime for prime I only have like 3 boxers who could probably beat him or is better than him, and Hagler is definitely one of those guys.

    Don’t matter how good your chin is if you don’t land the punch. The chin is also over exaggerated, anyone who boxes has a better chin than like 92 percent of the population. Jones has good traps and his chest has been tested in his prime. It’s not that far apart LOL but it’s not top tier, but he does have a solid chin. Jones beats up Hagler no stoppage no KO

    Oh that's for sure, the best middleweight RN wouldn't even be top 10 in the 90's.

    Did you just imply that Roy has a better chin than 92% of the population? Am I reading that right? :risas3:

    I'm going to give you a pass because you were either as high as a kite when you said that, were experiencing some kind of temporary psychotic episode and had absolutely no idea what you were saying, or you are trolling me hard. If it's the later, bravo because you got me good.

    Roy literally has the worst chin of not only any boxer or combat sports fighter I've ever seen but of any living creature I've ever seen and I'm talking about walking pharmacy lab creation roided to the gills Roy too.
