I'm not sure about Haggler but since Hagler I'd say James Toney.

Who is the best Middleweight since Haggler?

The greatest ever is the successor to Marvelous Marvin Hagler and even he agrees, Gennady Golovkin!
***y to look at, great to watch in action and never disappointing and isn't KOed by bums like Tarver and doesn't allows himself to be DQed by bums

It is out of James Toney, B-Hop and Michael Nunn for sure, I lean towards James Toney but I'm bias, I grew up a HUGE Toney fan
Roy Jones Jr. I don't know where to put Jones Jr as far as his best Weight Class. His biggest wins was above middleweight. He did not fight Toney at Middleweight if I remember correctly.Last edited by sicko; 07-28-2015, 05:54 PM.

I liked them both because they don't BS, they come to fight and empty the tank doing it.
Technically Bernard and Toney are more talented and have more skills but lack excitment and intruique.
Jones spent the majority of his time at 175 not 160 so I don't consider him when
discussing Middleweights.
I do like Hagler over all of them however the past greats
like Robinson, Cerdan, Monzon, LaMotta, Ketchel would give Hagler trouble and could defeat him.

Haggler would of stopped JT in 10 easily
While Hopkins was clearly still a good fighter at age 40 and above, he wasn't prime anymore (no fighter is prime at 40). Even Robert Allen, who had the privilege of fighting Hopkins on three separate occasions, stated after their 3rd encounter that Hopkins wasn't as good as he was before. Mind you, this was when Hopkins was 39 years old, just prior to the Oscar de la Hoya fight. Allen went the full 12 rounds and lost a decision, whereas Hopkins knocked him out in just 7 rounds in their fight 5 years prior.
