Hagler (Roldan) vs GGG (Willie Monroe Jr)

Hagler's on the slide, Golovkin arguably at his peak.

12 rounds. Who ya got?

Hagler by decision. I don't think Hagler was slipping in 1984.

I just rewatched it recently and Hagler took an awful lot of shots from Roldan.

I'd favor Hagler, but Golovkin would've made him work for it.

I don't think they're far off, but Hagler had more versatility to his game, and was quicker with his hands. I also think he's tough enough to take Golovkin's best shots, and as his career shows whenever a guy takes his shots things get tough for Golovkin.

Agreed, it was the last time we saw peak Hagler.

His next fight against Hearns in '85, he had started to lose his speed and had become a street fighter, as opposed to the classic boxer puncher he had been.

Two guys with great jabs. And iron chins. Can't say who wins with much conviction.
