i kno it was at the end of Hagler's career...but u wud have thought a rematch wud have made these guys a lot of money.
Any reason given as to why there was neva a rematch?
Why didn't De La Hoya & Sturm fight again, because Sturm would have got his ass kicked.
lol interesting joke theory.
personally unless ya ko delahoya he cant lose :D
ok maybe somehow he lost to mosley, not sure what that was about

like in the first fight? or maybe because oscar got KOd against B-hop, many reasons sturm vs dlh 2 never happened ^^
that hearns ko on duran was pretty brutal.
i wouldnt of blamed any fighter for not gettin up, able or not
if duran did take a dive, maybe he did the "no mas" against leonard
because he didnt get hit with anything hard to enough to risk a dive.
On Hearns Hagler Leonard and .....Duran
According to HBO it's true Hearns hurt his hand in the 1st rd AND one of his entourage gave him a massage. I would like to see Hearns try to outbox Hagler, he would never win a slugfest with Marvelous.
Hearns wouldn't have beaten Hagler if he had three hands(punching boxing or fighting) and I love Tommy but if you like a guy who just walked away from the sport because of an injustice ,and I watched his(Hagler's) carrer from an amatuer to the Leonard debate , you have to love the marvellous one.
I will say this for Hearns ...even with his suspect chin...ya gotta love the VERY accomplished skills he had. As for Ray he was great early. I just watched some footage on his first title against Wilfredo B. and others. Anyway three great fighters in a great era....did I forget Roberto Duran? Oh my!!(I still believe that Roberto took a dive against Hearns..who knows why...$$$$$$$$!!!)

Tommy and his glass jaw didn't want to be a catchers mit for the Marvelous one again. Can you blame him?
I think he (Hearns) was done in, by that point. The first one that sent him reeling was off the side/top of the head, not really clean or devastating-looking. But, the final shot landed flush, & was a real power shot.
yeah, he looked a mess though, you never question that ?
i can understand him bein koed like that after 14rds but just 3. :confused:
it means nothing to me, who won, yet as a fan i would of retired him after a ko loss like that.
yeah, hagler is a better inside fighter but slugging aint all inside work.
still i probably should of said hearns is as good a slugger.
alot of haglers shots were wild, landed on gloves etc.
punch for punch hagler takes rd one
but pound for pound hearns takes it
imo of course
what is disturbing about this fight is the pnches he got knocked out on.
didnt even seem to land properly, similar to mayorga-forrest 1

Hearns was a better puncher, but not necessarily a better slugger. Hagler threw better combinations, inside, than Hearns could. He had hooks & uppercuts (with both hands). He did this from a left-handed stance.
IMO, Hagler won the first round. Hearns landed his big shots in the first 45 seconds. After that Hagler was beating the crap out of him. Pushing him back, hurting him.

i would pick hearns over hagler everytime if his chin wasnt so suspect.
better boxer and IMO a better slugger
also no way hagler won rd 1. he didnt land the cleaner punches

Maybe, but I think he underestimated Hagler's chin and tried to check it too soon.
Hagler could punch....& Hagler was all over Hearns. Hearns had to fire back in an effort to keep Hagler off of him. Sometimes, you can't just move away, especially if it's a much stronger guy in there with you. A stronger guy who has talent & intelligence, also.
people alway stalk about forcing a boxer to slug it out to give themselves beter chances of winning. I believe it was haglers own intention to start that up without any prompting by Hagler.
