Middleweights : Marvin Hagler vs. Emile Griffith

[Woldemar]

Who wins?

[scorpio83]

Marvelous One by UD 15 or late round TKO over Griffith who fought the first Dick Tiger and the Nino Benvenuti trilogy.

Marvelous One by TKO 12 over Griffith from both Monzon fights after nailing him with southpaw jabs, left hands and right hooks.

I think Marvin would win a clear UD.

Hagler by decision or late stoppage. Too relentless and strong for Griffith.

Hagler by decision or late stoppage. Too relentless and strong for Griffith.

A stoppage would be a surprise for me honestly. I can't see Griffith winning, but he was tough as all hell. Only stopped like twice I believe in well over 100 fights.

Marvelous! Too big. Too strong. Too fast.

Hagler, clear UD15, something like 9-6 or 10-5 in rounds

I hold Emile Griffith in high regard. He was an outstanding boxer and a great champion. However he was much better as a welterweight. Marvin is too strong and relentless for him. At the middleweight limit Griffith will be at a disadvantage. Marvin Hagler wins inside the distance and rather easily.

In evaluating this one, Griffith's terrible loss to Hurricane Carter bothers me; however, Hagler's close on the cards win against Duran bothers me also. I agree Griffith was better at 147 than he was at middleweight and I'll go with Hagler by a very narrow decision over 15 rounds but I don't feel confident at all in giving an opinion on this one.

Hagler KO12!

[giacomino]

Griffith would give him a fight but Hagler wins something like 10-5, 9-6

[drumzz]

I think Hagler would be ARRESTED for the beating he would give Griff. NOBODY beats Prime Hagler.
