The Hagler vs Hearns fight is overrated

[Chups]

Castillo-corrales was much better as well as Ward-Gatti

The first are Mediocre fighters and the last pair are bums.


Hagler and Tommy Hearns are legends.

Im tired of hearing "will this be another hagler-hearns" "people are comparing this fight to hagler-hearns". Hey yea thanks for that helluva first round. But the tired fellas only gave us 2 more decent rounds. Ive seen much better fights that lasted more than 3 rounds to hype fights up with, but classics(old ****) plays into peoples minds i guess.

It is not overated !!!!
During the 80's, that was a hellava fight. I mean, two of the top names during that time and just coming out with a fury was a sight to behold. It didnt last long, but how could it with the bombs they were throwing. Maybe to all the people who were born around that time and after it didnt seem that great but to be old enough and to watch it that day it was a great fight. No Holds Bar

It's not overrated. You have to look at the magnitude of the fight and the level of the fighters. Sure, there has been better fights in the history of the sport but there hasn't been many fights better than that one with top notch fighters. The ones that were greater are also looked at in the same light(thrilla in manilla).

I gotta disagree with u on this one..the first time i watched it, it was like wow..but watching the replays of the fight even made me realized that I just watched probably the greatest fight in boxing history..it doesnt get old..of course gatti-ward 1 still is my fav of all time..but this fight, 4 me, is in 2nd place

Gatti v Ward 1 was a great fight but they wern't 2 ATG's. It is rare to see 2 ATG's both fighting at their best so this must always be up there. Will work out my list of greatest fights sometime, i'd be very suprised if Hagler Hearns doesn't make the top 10 though.
