Which fighter was better?

Hagler, he could do way more than Chavez.

 

Damn, this is like asking me which is better, cheese with wine or Corona with lemon?

Damn, if you held a gun to my head, I'd be inclined to say The Marvelous One. Chavez started out 89-0-1, but Hagler in my view, faced tougher opposition.

 

That's pretty much how I see it as well.

 

I know Hagler's career well, saw many of his fights and respect him highly.

Don't know as much about Chavez. But his record is rolled gold. He was 87-0-0 til he drew with Purnell Whitaker, and hadn't been off his feet until 89-0-1 when he met Frankie Randall, who beat him on pts.

Too hard to call this one!

 

Every see a fighter walk through Hagler's block busters 'n force him to stick 'n move to a decision?

 

Bad Bennie is who I usually think of when visualizing Hagler in ring perimeter cutie mode.

 

I pick Hagler because he became a better fighter after his early losses in which he avenged and never definitively lost afterwards. Chavez, in most observers opinions including mine, was clearly beaten by Whitaker. Also Frankie Randall was an easy call.

 

Hagler

 

Why is Chavez hands down higher than Hagler pound for pound? :huh

Because he weight climbed while Hagler stayed put? I'm not casting aspersions on anyone in particular but there is a bad case of not understanding wtf p4p is about on here and it may explain the certitude that Chavez is "greater" regardless of who is h2h better.

 

That one should be obvious. :blood
