15 Rounds Middleweight Bout

In the battle of the southpaws, Graham would out-box Hagler in the early rounds behind his right jabs and combinations, but the Marvelous One would wear Graham down with his right jabs and body punches in the middle rounds, then Hagler would put him away with a crushing right hook for a KO win in 10 rounds. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Yeah, Hagler stops him. As great as Herol was, he doesn’t beat an ATG like Hagler.

I don't know that "Great" applies to Herol Graham. He was certainly very good. Hagler would beat him in one sided fashion, and almost certainly knock him out.

Hagler all day and twice on a Sunday. No way does bomber beat the marvelous one.

I'm not sure he'd beat him if they fought 25 times, and 3 of those times Hagler had the flu.

It could have happened as well. Graham was thereabouts towards the end of Hagler’s reign. It probably wouldn’t have created enough coin though.

The question should be 'what round.'

Exactly. Graham might be able to stay out of Hagler’s way for a bit but he’d eventually be stopped

Graham is sooo underrated....
But he's facing off against one of the greatest here - Marvin KOs him late.
