<45>have you ever watched Hagler? His work rate puts Canelo to shame.GGG and Hagler are very similar in their pressure, toughness, and power, so who knows.

Canelo is more of a counter puncher or boxer puncher than a worker....but what i found odd is comparing ggg to Hagler...they're nothing alike<45>have you ever watched Hagler? His work rate puts Canelo to shame.

Being a counter puncher is tiring. You try going in a ring for just 3 rounds and play defense....shit wears you out. It's mentally tiring tooTrue They’re nothing alike, that should be even more surprising as you say Canelo doesn’t have the work rate because he’s a counter puncher but he still often takes breaks here and there and gets visibly tired second half.

based on?
Wow, a white belt resurrects a thread about Hagler vs Canelo less than a week after Haglers death to let us know Canelo would knock out Hagler.I think you have to be real here...Hagler was a great fighter, conditioning, chin, ferocious...But though he had combinations he wasn't even in the same league as Canelo or GGG in one punch power!!! Plus both also have at least the chin of Hagler and are both physically bigger & stronger in the ring...This is one where Hagler wouldn't be able to bully Canelo - which was his MO against all opponents...He would be knocked out!!!

Seems innocent enough
GGG and Hagler are VERY similar, Canelo outboxes them both.
Not really discussing the Canelo matchup, but pre-Hearns Hagler is obviously a southpaw, he moves around the ring and his opponents way better than Golovkin and there’s more diversity in his offensive game. Over-the-hill Hagler looked a bit like GGG at times, granted, but one is basically a boxer-puncher and the other is more of a slugger, even if his technique is much better than most of his kind’s.
I don't know, I always thought GGG and Hagler were pretty similar... Hagler was only 33 when he retired, so I'm not sure what you mean by "over the hill," seems to me like you might be comparing over the hill GGG to young hagler.
BTW, yes Hagler is a better version of GGG, but they are similar in how they win. That's the comparison I'm making.
