    Well shucks! I may be a big puss, but damn, I don't think in a hypothetical situation I would chicken out of a fight with anyone. Hypothetically speaking, I'm the baddest man on the planet!

    Im goin for JJ. If Im caliber Munguia Ill take a fire fight vs Jackson. Shaky chin, Id look to use head movement and look for counter hook. Jules can bang so head movement will be key

    Hagler. If I run all night he'll be clueless.

    None of them. I'd rather duck them and keep my head connected to my shoulders.

    I suppose I agree that the fights are about equal difficulty-wise, with a somewhat-past-his-prime 'all time great' Hagler & a well-past-his-prime 'great' GGG probably more or less measuring up against prime versions of the two 'very good' guys.

    I'd therefore go for the glory/prestige WBA/Hagler option. What could possibly go wrong?

    Fighting either of the two really big punchers for a relative bauble appeals a lot less.

    Well calculated move

    WBO ain’t as good and prime benn was a nutjob.

    you also get hagler on the resume and the WBA
