Who is the middleweight GOAT: Monzon or Hagler?

Simple question.

 

Hagler was better, but Monzon greater. Yes hes was going up in age, but losing to an inactive leonard hurt hagler standing imo.

 

Neither could handle Stephane Ouellet

 

Hagler was the man and I prefer him over Monzon but it’s a no brainer for me. Monzon was the better MW and had the greater resume between the two.

 

Yeah, I could never envision Monzon blowing the Leonard fight.

Leonard's mind games really got to Hagler.

Wouldn't work on Monzon because he was a sociopath. Good luck trying to disturb the emotions of a man without emotion.

 

Hagler never threw his wife off a building so he's greater by default

 

Monzon was full of émotion. You dont strangle your wife and throw her off a balcony if your not consummed by anger and jealousy

 

Depends on the wife.

 

The point stands I think Monzon was too "cold" to fall for Leonard's mind games.

Not saying Marvin was a mental midget or anything. Of course he wasn't. But he let Ray get him in a way that I don't think would have worked on Monzon.

 

I do agree that I dont think Monzon would have been affected as Hagler was.

 

I'd argue neither are. I'd see arguments for both Greb and Robinson above them both.

Between the two however, I'd say Hagler was better Monzon was greater.
