a draw.

Answer 2

h**l of a fight. Monzon could easily build up an early lead on the cards, but Hagler's continuous pressure would begin to grind him down around 8 or 9.

If you're talking a 12-rounder, Monzon could run for the latter half of the fight and win a narrow decision. 15-rounder, Hagler would pass him on the scorecards to win a thin decision, or possibly KO him late.

Answer 3

these two are very evenly matched, hagler would have been stronger, while monzon probably had more stamina (despite being a smoker).

i think monzon just eeks out a split decision win here.

Answer 4

Great fight!  I've asked this question a few times in my time here on yahoo.  I rank both Hagler and Monzon as the 2nd greatest middleweight champions of all time.  Both had strong chins and both were never knocked out beating the very best competition.  Monzon had a poleaxe for a jab and a pulverizing right hand.  He was tall and had a long reach and a brilliant boxer.  Hagler fought mostly from a southpaw stance and was fearless pressing forward with above average boxing skills and great power.  Monzon beat folks like Bennie Briscoe, Emile Griffith, Rodrigo Valdez, and Jean Claude Bouttier.  Hagler beat folks like John Mugabi, Thomas Hearns, Vito Anteufermo, and Alan Minter so both fought at a very high level.  I believe that Monzon would control the early part of the fight with his great jab.  Hagler would come on strong in the middle rounds rattling Monzon with some really hard punches.  The last rounds of the fight would be about even.  At the end both fighters would have a mutual admiration for each other and shake hands.  One judge would have it for Monzon, one for Hagler, and the third would have it even.  The fight ends in a draw between the legends of the ring!  Can you say rematch?

Answer 5

Hagler hands down; Hearns, Leonard and Hagler domonated the ring than and now.
