I do agree with you that Roy Jones Jr. was a great fighter. He would be a serious threat to anyone.

I think Roy barely even breaks a sweat vs Hagler

He was unbeatable. His chin was fine and took punches well most his career

I don't know how you define "unbeatable", but when a guy loses 10 fights with 5 of them being stoppages, then he is beatable.

Any human being will lose a fight at a certain age…..

Marvin hagler was no slouch.

Throw my opinion out then check what the boxing experts say. They all have Sugar Ray Robinson, Hagler and Monzon at the top of greatest all time middleweights.

I think Roy Jones Jr. Is generally considered a super middleweight or even lighmiddleweight. Great fighter, I don't dispute that.

Roy Jones Jr was a very special fighter in the history of boxing. He was a freak of nature with unbelievable speed, most vicious left hook and incredible footwork in a very athletic package.

I saw him fight live once and met him not long ago at a recent boxing match at the Smoothie King Center. As a lifelong boxing fan, it was a thrill to meet once of the true greats of the game.

I think Roy would have taken down Hagler. It would not have been easy, but Roy was just too much for anyone he fought, until he took too many shots. All boxers careers end this way. They never know when to quit, so you end up with a bunch of bad loses at the end of their careers. This does not take away from what I witnessed in the prime of his career, when he took apart Bernard Hopkins (another all time great fighter), James Toney, Vinny Pazienza, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill, etc.

If he didn't go up in weight then try and drop back down even faster, he would have been fine. Once he tried dropping all that weight he started getting rocked. That Left Hook was just insane! He threw it from every angle!
