With the exception of Thomas Hearns could any of Haglers opponents

Leonard

I can't see the 1983 Duran beating McCullum, great as he was.

Mike is too good for Sibson, Mugabe, Minter etc. beating him, though they are all really good fighters.

 

Not sure what kind of point you're trying to prove, but Hagler was flat out better than McCallum.

 

Hamsho would laugh at McCallums punches and run him out of the ring. Sibson beats him. Mugabi that fought Hagler stops him. Mc callum is soooo overrated. 15rds with Sean Mannion? McCallum would last 7 rds with Hagler. If Curry wobbled him watch out.

 

Duran shows him what real body punching and power is.. Stoppage in 10.

 

Outside of Leonard? No. Duran could do it, but I wouldn't put a penny on it.

 

I would favour Leonard due to his speed and guessing over 12. None of the others, apparently McCallum used to get the better of Hearns when they sparred and expect him to stop Tommy late.

 

Leo was **** that night. Hag was just worse.

 

McCallum was past his prime at 160, won some good fights there. Anyone who faced Hagler's opponents would have their hands full imo

 

I'd favour McCallum over them all except Leonard who could have outsped him. Mugabi would be a tough one but I'd favour him to get through it. He outclasses Sibson and most of the rest.

 

What does going 15 rounds with Mannion tell us?

How can you say that he’s so overrated and then say that Mugabi would have stopped him?

Mugabi never beat a top level fighter in his entire career.

7 rounds with Hagler? Really? That’s a bold statement.

 

Mike was never stopped in 55 fights, where he ended his career at CW at 40 years old.

A Duran fight would have been a tactical fight, with Mike being significantly bigger. It would have been highly unlikely that Duran would have stopped him.

 

I don't think Hearns would beat McCallum, who was a lot tougher than Hearns. Duran might be able to beat McCallum, and maybe Leonard. Nobody else stands a chance though. I do wonder how "the Beast" would do though.

 

Mugabi vs Hagler and pre Hagler destroyed every ranked middleweight he fought. After Hagler he never cared again. I would take Pre and Hagler Mugabi over Hearns and Leonard by KO

 

GREAT FIGHTERS STOP other fighters. McCallum OVERRATED!
