Who did Marvin Hagler Call the Hardest Puncher He Ever Fought?

Tommy had a MUCH weaker chin than Hagler too

 

Mugabi? Tommy was rarely hit clean in fights. If he had such a weak chin he would have been stopped more. in almost 70 fights, stopped 3 times, and against some of the best fighters ever. Mugabi? I think Hearns avoids the punches and lands his right hand early and stops him. Hagler was not too great defensively at times if the guy was willing to trade. But he usually persevered. Mugabi giving Hagler a tough fight does not mean that much. Roldan gave Hagler a tough fight and Hearns beat him. And Hearns actually stopped taller guys easier than shorter.

 

saying Mugabi could beat Hearns takes more than one fight against Hagler, when Marvin was rusty and had not fought in a year. The other fights John had against top guys he sort of crashed and burned,and he would beat a legend like Hearns? It is speculation. If the punches which John hit Marvin with hit Hearns? I don't think Hearns would fight him like that. If John's punches hit Norris or Thomas, he would have won those fights also probably. But John was almost out in round 6 against Hagler and Hearns hit much harder.

 

Oh, I was just wondering how he actually got a chance to talk to Hagler. Like did he work with him, or interview him, or just bump into him somewhere?...
If you're prefer not to say, I totally understand. There are crazy people all over the internet who may try to dox you.

 

I have always felt that the Mugabi fight shortened Hagler's career... And likewise Dan near ended Mugabi's career.

 

Hearns fought better guys than Hagler ever did. His resume was better. And he moved up and beat higher weight champs.

 

I think he got an old Hagler who was not sharp that night. Mugabi did not prove much in his career to say he had a shortened career.

 

Perhaps you ignored the "likewise" comment where I suggested that Hagler LIKEWISE reduced Mugabi's career.

It was a really damaging fight between two great punchers.

 

Hagler would have knocked out Mugabi in about 4 or 5 had he been active. He is a guy who should not have fought when he was not motivated. I guess most guys should not.

 

he was stopped enough!

I think Mugabi probably would have knocked him out

I think Roldan would have knocked him out had he stopped dropping his hands by his waist. He had Tommy on ***** street in the 4th and Tommy lucked out

Both Tommy and Roldan had their best days behind them

 

My opinion is Mugabi would not stop Hearns. Hearns had a better track record in big fights and his whole career to say Mugabi would stop him. Hagler was rusty in 1986 and was not landing his punches clean, his left hand was bend and he was not punching it straight. He was rusty.

 

Gotta give Dewitt some love. He wasn't the most talented Middle in history
but he was tough as nails. I remember the Hearns fight , Dewitt came into
it in the best shape of his life. He wanted to get the upset. Hearns landed shots that
would've ko'ed most middles in history. Dewitt just wouldn't go. He was up for it.
It's happened to every big puncher in history. Some fighters refused to be stopped.

 

I know, he's killing me.
