If we are talking primes, Hagler (see late 70s to early 80s) peobably wins. He out works him. Hagler is probably not getting stopped, and Roy will have to fight at a pace he won't like.
That is if Hagler manages to find Roy, to corner Roy, to trap Roy... Which he wouldn't be able to.
Roy beats him easily. Hagler lost to the speed of SRL, who hadn't fought in a couple years.
Roy clowns him. Too fast, too slick in his prime.
But that was never something we saw in his prime. Roy didn't start getting wrecked by every punch until he was past his best.Until we learned he had a glass jaw when he does get hit. So no, Hagler wins this
I'd agree you have some fights there, but prime RJJ has got to be the best athlete we saw at MW/SMW. And he had speed and power to go with great boxing abilities. He was really something. I'd take him over Hagler clear.Sorry who said Roy beats everyone under HW? Have yall not heard of Ezzard Charles? Marciano? Plenty of sub 200lb give Roy trouble smh
LOL at your AVUntil we learned he had a glass jaw when he does get hit. So no, Hagler wins this

Definitely.Are chins subject to father time?

He got hit here in there in some fights. He was always pretty durable until that Tarver fight. After that, he was a guy who got KO'd basically by every touch to the head.Because they didn't land clean. You don't develop a glass jaw from one KO

eh, he ate some punches here and there in the 50 fights he had prior to Tarver. I remember Gonzalez getting some through the guard. McCallum and Toney both got some shots in. I saw him take better shots than the punches Green put him on queer street with.Nah, I rewatched his fights and he simply wasn't hit clean

Not sure how I forgot the first Tarver fight too. He took a lot of good shots from Tarver. Then look at what happened in the next and then vs Johnson.Well anyway, there is no evidence that he could withstand the damage inflicted by the relentless Hagler. Seems like a nightmarish match-up for him.
