RJJ vs Hagler

Shame his chin and punch resistance wasn't.

Oh really? Says who? Roy never had a problem until he moved back down from heavyweight. How can you just assume he couldn't take a punch in his prime years when he had only been dropped once and got up quickly from it?

[Mr. Invincible]

How does cutting weight for a fight decrease your punch resistance? You lose your punch resistance from accumulated punishemnt to the head.

Ask Chris Byrd and Ricky Hatton.

Hearns said Roy Jones would get muched by Hagler.

Yea, and how does he know this? Did he face Jones in sparring or something. Roy in his prime was way too big, fast and strong for Haggler. Wide UD win if not stopping Marvin.

I can't believe how decisive this poll is. I hope people aren't confusing 168 and 175 Roy Jones with 160 Roy Jones. I think Hagler decisions him, Roy at 160 would not have been experienced enough to handle Hagler for 12 rounds.

Jones was having problems against a come forward, out-of style Bernard Hopkins in their first fight. Hagler approaches the fight the same way, except that it compliments his style and that's the sort of thing he's been doing his whole career. Hagler by an accumulative stoppage.

Hopkins is bigger and faster than Hagler and Roy beat Hopkins going away.

hagler is a bigger puncher than hopkins and is better at fighting a swarming fight....

big and fast arent everything...

[crold1]

Hopkins was faster than Hagler? Says who?
A push at best.

[jabsRstiff]

The 1993 version of Bernard Hopkins was stronger than a prime Marvin Hagler?
Really? Wow, ol' Segundo Mercado must have been a mini George Foreman the way he bounced Hopkins off the canvas in '94.

yes they aren't everything but it puts you at a GREAT advantage especially when you have great stamina, power and ring IQ like Roy
