Two guys that had the toughest chins ever. There's no knockout here in my opinion. I guess not.

Now there's a fight. I'm going for Hagler on points in a brutal war. Marvin lands the cleaner shots. Great matchup elmer.

Hagler's greater ability is gonna win him the fight too. When they're slugging it out at close quarters it's anybody's fight, but Hagler has the option to box and move if it feels he needs to, and Lamotta's option is apply even more pressure.
I feel like Hagler is gonna take it because he has more to his game, but nobody is going down, and nobody is getting rocked, and it's gonna be 15 rounds of steady action.

Hagler by decision, probably closer than we expect. He would definitely need to use some movement, as staying in the trenches with LaMotta for 15 rds is a bad idea for just about anyone.

Marvelous was the most complete boxer of the two. Marvelous by decision. Nobody's stopping Jake LaMotta. Too much heart. Too great of a chin.
