    Is hagler's cherrypick of SRL the biggest cherrypick gone wrong?

    hagler was an undisputed middleweight and knocked out everybody during his reign except duran. meanwhile leonard never fought at middleweight, hadnt fought in 3 years, and had a broken retina. aka damaged goods. hagler thought it would be an easy win and to have another ATG scalp on his resume.

    what happens instead is that he got schooled, lost at least 8 rounds, and the fight ended up from upset of the year, to upset of the decade!! imagine being an undisputed middleweight champ and getting schooled by a fat, inactive welterweight with a broken eye lol.

    also we need to discuss about hagler's cherry picking. Dude's biggest wins were Duran, a lightweight, Hearns, a welterweight. And Mugabi, who fought nobody before Hagler. lmao.

    Nahh, Mike Tysons cherry pick against Buster Douglas was the biggest

    There are a few others as well (Pavlik-Hopkins, Broner-Maidana, Judah-Baldomir, Wlad-Sanders, Martinez-Cotto, DLH-Pac, Horn-Pac, etc.)

    Majority of these listed were beatdowns pretty much, besides the Horn-Pac fight which was a robbery.

          How could choosing to fight the opponent that brings you the most money ever be considered a cherry pick? Dumb thread.

                Watch the documentary that has Hagler, Hearns, SRL and Duran and your answer will be there.

                  your first sentence explains it all. Hagler was undipsuted. That means he beat everybody at 160.

                  If the cash cow wanna move up and challenge you. You take it.

                    No, because by 1986 one could easily tell that Marvin's heart was just not into the sport anymore. He had gotten beaten up by John Mugabi and contemplated retirement as he was anticipating one last fight against Thomas Hearns.

                    Then out of the clear blue Ray Leonard announced his comeback which caught everybody by surprise; Including Hagler himself. So I say it was a cherrypick gone right for Sugar Ray Leonard.
