    Robinson might beat him down for a TKO Late on.

    Also ROY JONES JR. iF rjj opened up he could stop him

    The thought of Marvin Hagler being Ko'd by any great middle weight, is mind boggling.. I don't like to say that anything is impossible in boxing, but I think we can all agree that very few would have a chance of doing it..

    Robinson would have the best shot IMO, not that I'd make it my pick.

    Definitely not Jones.

    Jones was a massive puncher at 160 and had the speed to land, he probably wouldnt go for it against Marvin but if he does he has as good shot as anyone. McClellan could well put Hagler down, dont know if he'd be able to finnish him, doubt it.

    I'm sure some will say Fitz/Langford/Ketchell, that was a prehistoric time in boxing so likely those fighters success wouldnt carry forward

    Ezzard Charles or Lloyd Marshall have shots

    The thought of even a fellow ATG dropping Hagler, in a prime for prime match up, is shocking enough, let alone a KO.

    lets not get too ahead of ourselves, he could of been dropped by a stray punc on a counter. but his fitness and balance always meant he was in control of his body. the right hand that hearns lands on hagler is the closest i have seen to hagler hurt and he shook it off like nothing.

    monzon would be my choice for being able to hurt him or stop him but i doubt it.

    nobody's knocking out Hagler not a chance, no punch is gonna be harder than the right Hearns landed on Hagler, Hagler chin is made of iron.

    I would not back any middleweight from all of boxing history to stop Hagler. Robinson would have the best shot at it, but I can't see it happening. I don't even think anyone could convincingly beat the Marvelous one, if he lost to any middleweight it would be an extremely close fight, Marvin was incredible at 160.
