Who thinks Herol 'Bomber' Graham could of beaten Marvin Hagler?

I don't. But coincidentally, I just enjoyed a good documentary on Graham and Brendan INglefrom 1981 (with a 2006 update). I'll post in another thread.

 

Graham would make Hagler look VERY bad early on, but Marvin would catch up with him and KO the guy.

Whilst its true that Marvin never beat someone as silky as Graham, Herol was also prone to being caught napping late on during a fight with that style of his, and Hagler wouldnt let him get up from that knockdown.

If Herol had paid more attention to his fitness and concentration during fights then he would have been an awesome MW, and not just a freakishly good elusive boxer.

I dont really think theres a reason to consider Hagler at SRL fight or after he retired, several would beat him then becasue that simply wasnt Marvellous Marvin.

 

He drew with Tommy Hearns at Tommy's prime weight of 154 after that.

 

Loved watching Graham. As someone posted earlier one of the best British boxers never to win a world title. I too think that for a few rounds, hagler would have had real problems but like most I suspect he'd have caught up with Graham at some point in the second half of the fight to score a stoppage win.

 

Agreed............And Graham would always have been competitive with even a prime Hagler.
