He caught Hagler clean with his freak right hand and moved him a little bit, and even stunned him somewhat, but that's it. No more. The punches after that one did nothing. Anything Hopkins landed would not even register. A guy that has Hop-like power couldn't even dent Hagler whether it was to the body or whatever.... This fight wouldn't be about how could hurt the other as the only fighter to ever be hurt and dropped in his career was Hopkins. Nonetheless, it wouldn't come to that. It would be a chess game.
Also, one other thing you said was wrong. Hopkins did say those things about Hagler and Monzon. He actually said that he didn't think he could beat Monzon but that the Hagler fight would be a war in which both would end up in hospital. He really did say though that he didn't think he would beat Monzon. Very surprising given Hop's nature. I remember cause I was so shocked.
