    Hagler in his prime was one of the best ever....and he had a great chin...the answer is no...

    is thor, God of Thunder a middleweight?

    i'm with the consensus but one name power puncher pointed to sticks out: sam langford. Robinson, imo, did not hit with the same power as langford, especially at middleweight. He's the only person I'd feel at all comfortable picking: 50/50 on that one

    Fitzsimmons is the only one that comes to mind. He was a freak of nature when it came to power.

    Mugabi hurt Hagler more than Hearns. He got him good with an uppercut and some vicious body shots.

    Eugene "Cyclone" Hart's left hook caught Hagler's attention.

    Outside of a Ketchell, Fitz or Graziano landing their Sunday punch, only Robinson has the remotest chance.

    But it still wouldn't happen.

    No-one, Ketchel probably has the best chance for me. Or Fitz of course, but I can't see it.

    Okay. So I guess when Hagler was pissing blood, he thought to himself "This is normal, and I'm okay with this."
