Hagler versus 1960's middleweights

Post by goose 5 »

Would Hagler go unbeaten against Giardello, Henry Hank, George Benton, Hurricane Carter, Griffith and Luis Rodriguez ?

Griffith and Armstrong would have been interesting fights. The rest would have been blow outs.

Luis Rodriguez would have been hell. Rodriguez dominated some excellent middleweights.

Armstrong? Who are talking about here?

Griffith would have been tough. Giardello would have been also. Dick Tiger as well. Would still pick Hagler to win these though.

Hagler-Tiger could be a bit boring if we are talking younger Hagler. He'll know he can't break Tiger and would box and move his way to a decision. Hagler from around 84-86 and Tiger would be an incredible battle.

There's not many middles I'd pick against Hagler. Even Monzon, who I feel most would pick I think Hagler would be too quick though I understand Monzon's length and timing would be hard to overcome.

I think the 60's middleweights I listed would all give Marvin a real tough night, to say the least. Hagler's title fight victories were over men-with the exception of Duran and Hearns- would I believe would lose to the to the 60's guys in non-competitive matches.

Hagler was dominant over the contenders of his era and that makes him great, but his era was a relatively weak one.
