that was supposed to be a showcase fight and hagler went life and death with that slow little robot.
but i agree he did come to win that night.

knocked him out first time.
why?
The truth about Hagler is, he came from the same cloth as Carter, Benton, Tiger all iron chinned and skilled middleweights in their own regard. However, Hagler had no competition so he LOOKED like more of a beast. Don't take this as me down playing Hagler, its just this is why Hagler gets this aura about him.
The other thing ill give Hagler is he took his career seriously with his Floyd Mayweather training habits, and never got out of shape or partied too much. The other guys definently did and wont go down in history the same way because of it.
Valdez would have been right in the thick of that mess if he was around at the time. So picking him over Hagler who was on his way out is not that rediculous of a statement. Hagler could ver well win as well but its 50/50 tbh, Valdez was dangerous.
