Could any MW in history stop Hagler?

[GoogleMe]

Many could - but many would never land that shot.

I'd say Monzon & Julian Jackson might have had the better shots. Roy could maybe head for a TKO.

Anything's possible, but if you want to talk what's likely or not likely-

Doubt anyone stops Hagler. It's more than just his iron chin, it's the fact that there's no one middleweight in history who could dominate him enough to stop him. Maybe you think a guy like Monzon beats him, but you know it wouldn't be easy in any way for Carlos...

If he stood on the ropes and let a dude tee off on him for 12-15 rounds, sure. He could get KOed. His chin was phenomenal, but nobody is invincible. But if he fights his fight, I don't see anybody doing it. It's possible, but in the same way that a meteor destroying my house tonight is possible.

If Gerald McClellan landed a few Booming Rights up top and came back with those VICIOUS (and perhaps most under rated ever) left hooks Downstairs then who knows... Hagler is only Human....

What would most likely happen? The Right hands would struggle to land, the few that did would bounce off of him and the body shots wouldnt come, Then Hagler just plain merks him.

I think that left hook from robison v fullmer II finishes most MWs or basically pyts em on edge for the rest of the night.

I absolutely agree, that was a hell of a hook.

[McGoorty]

could he land that shot on hagler though?

I doubt if there was anyone that Ray Robinson couldn't hit............................................ --------- K.O. ?...... a bit hard to judge.

McClellan als?comes to mind.

Nobody KO's Hagler

[jabsRstiff]

Hagler took the best punches of Hearns, Mugabi, and Cyclone Hart, and this proved that one punch (even by guys like J.Jackson and McClellan) wasn't likely to get him out of there. To take him out you'd have to be a huge puncher who is also unbelievably skilled and tough enough to do it....and NO ONE's been that good.

I know anyone can be knocked out and yes if hagler had his hands tied behind his back and his chin pushed out, a lot of MW's could eventually K.O him.

But in the heat of battle, with hagler fighting back at you I just don't see anyone stopping him. It would take one hell of a shot, followed by a barrage of power punches to stop him.

I believe the uppercut mugabi landed on him would've stopped almost any MW
