thanks for the info bout hagler being the underdog against Hearns..but then this was just the big fight where he was the underdog..and he was on big fights and was the favorite against Duran and Leonard..but still Leonard beat him..and Pac was not the favorite when he lost to Morales coz he was moving up in weight..so still Pac has defied more odds than hagler..

Pac was an underdag more then hagler? woopty ****in do!! lol

hagler had to work VERY hard to get his title, he didnt even get a shot till his 50th fight,

some belive hagler was actually better befor he got his title,

wow, the poll is tied up.

So ur saying that Pac did not work hard to get the recognition that he's getting right now..u have to be very tough to survive in the boxing gyms in the Phils..and pac has to fight in Japan, Thailand, US to gain this recognition..it was even harder for pac, i think, to gain the admiration of the Americans coz in the 1st place he was not an american..

the best of this era is not even better than the 3rd best of the fab 4 era..that's sad indeed if u ask me..

The best of this era is inferior to FIFTH best of the "Fab Four" era. Benitez beats everyone at Welterweight from todays era.

but i think ull agree that it was more difficult for Pac's case to gain the worldwide recognition that he is enjoying now than for Hagler?even the greatest japanese boxer and some would argue the best asian boxer, Galaxy, was not recognized much in the US coz most Americans would say boxers outside the US are not tough..that if u want to succeed, u have to do it in front of the Americans..4tunately, Pac dared to be great..

yes, Pac had it hard.

but hagler dared to be great to, he proved his greatness in almost every fight.

Americans have recognised the toughness of Latino fighters for decades. Americans just have a hard time getting into midget boxing (Batam, Fly) where, as it happens, most of the Asians fight.
