    Hagler-Hearns 40 year anniversary

    Good article.

    40 years ago, Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns put on a legendary boxing match that was a sign of things to come in both the sport and its broadcast future.

    Tommy broke his right with the first punch and the only one that hurt Hagler in his entire career.

    With a fully functioning right who knows?

      - - Fantastical Fight where the only flaw was one had to lose, but I was a full Tommy fan thereafter.

      I was already a Marv fan.

        I wish they would've fought again once Tommy's hand recovered.

          The Tommy of the Shuler fight with a fully functioning right was terrifying.

          I think that was his actual middleweight prime, his body had filled out and he looked utterly sensational.

          So lightening fast and powerful.

          Later on the moving up and down the weights drained him.

          Shuler was an excellent unbeaten fighter who possibly could have been a champion today.

          Yet he lasted all of 73 seconds.
