Do you know what the biggest difference is? Hagler cleared out his division, while Vits let his brother clean out theirs.
I wonder sometimes if when a dominate fighter cleans out his epoch we don't too quickly assume it to be a weak era? E.g. Jeffries, Louis, Marciano, Tyson.
Domination may fool us into under-rating the competition. Then again it also just might be true.
I don't think the Hagler's MW division particularly weak just no opportunity for others to shine. Maybe!JAB5239 likes this.

I would rated the best by any means, but that era had a lot of solid to very good fighters in it. Marvin was just that good.Willie Pep 229 likes this.

Who fought Mugabe? Who could beat him? He was only a puncher though, and maybe you want someone slightly earlier.
