Ketchel gotta be in there somewhere IMO. Hagler, Robinson, Monzon & Hopkins were all such great tacticians, I think we'd get a series of very close decisions/chess matches among them, nothing remotely like Hagler-Hearns or Zale-Graziano.
Hopkins perhaps a sixteenth of a step below the other three, imo, and Robinson was in his mid 30's by the time he got to 160, tho he certainly could've hung with most 175ers in his youth aside from maybe Bob Foster & Michael Spinks.
IMO Hagler-Monzon is a dreadful style matchup. Would come down to where the fight was held & if Marvin got cut at some point. I think Marvin had a hand speed edge. I say if you run a 100K sim, Hagler by decision gets about 50K hits, Monzon by decision 40K, Hagler by KO 5K, Monzon by KO 2K, draw 3K.
