Why would Hearns want a rematch?He knew he could never hurt Hagler and of the odds of him outboxing him for the distance was slim.One brutal knockout for my boy Hearns was good enough

But still, it'd be another fantastic fight im sure.

Hearns hurt Hagler in first round. And he broke his right hand in first round, his punches didn't have power after that.

Everybody can be knocked out but I don't think that even Hearns could do it to Hagler. Hagler besides chin had pretty good defense and if Minchillo could go to distance with Hearns then could Hagler.

Hearns chance was to box Hagler and he as sure as hell had skills and attributes to outbox Hagler.
Their second fight would have been longer, Hearns would have fought different fight. Hearns was damn arrogant after knocking out Duran in two rounds that he fought that he can knock out Hagler with 3 rounds.
Also many don't know that Hagler didn't have great knockout power, he was accumulative puncher and his right hand was good but left was rather average. But I think Hagler would have stopped Hearns still inside 9 rounds.
And as I said already it IS FACT that Hearns demanded rematch and he was sure that he can fight this time better.

Did you watch this fight?

Hagler was hurt in the encounter, and who knows what would've happened had he not broken his hand about midway through the first.

Hearns never demanded a rematch cause he knew he would be beaten to **** once more. Hagler owned his ass.

Are you a Moron or what?

Hearns demanded a rematch, this is fact. STFU if you don't know about it.

fabulous,

you said:

Hearns demanded a rematch

and i'm a believer, but i wonder if you have any evidence to back this claim, such as a link, like the link i supplied in my opening post on this thread.

if a solid body of evidence could be built up - THOMAS HEARNS, YOUR FANS NEED YOU! - then all this horse**** hagler fan big talk could be refuted more easily.

hagler was surely one of the very greatest of boxers, but one oughtn't to be superstitiously idolatrous. hearns might well have beaten him a rematch, and hearns knew it. where is the evidence that hearns demanded a rematch?

i only have one round of this fight on my computer does anyone know where to get the full thing? yeah their shoulda been a rematch considering this one was great...just like pryor/arguello
