Hagler had two great fights with Hearns and Mugabi, and some other good ones with Briscoe and Leonard. Trinidad had one great one with Vargas and several good ones with Reid, Mayorga, Carr, Campas.
Hagler had some explosive highlight reel KOs against Hamani, Lee, Hamsho 2, Obelmejias 2. Trinidad had the same against Garcia, Blocker, Zulu, nice bodyshot KOs of Barnes, Pineda, Pendleton.
The main difference between the two is that we got to see more clinics with Hagler than you did with Trinidad. Hagler absolutely jabbing and schooling the hell out of guys like Sibson and Hamsho (first fight) and slowly breaking them down. Trinidad, although his skills get undersold at times, was not nearly as skilled or versatile as Hagler.Comment

Hagler wasn't much more exciting than Trinidad to me, if at all.

If you love boxing, its an easy decision. Tito is a great boxer but he in no way is on Hagler's level.Comment

The first Antufermo fight was alright.
Hagler was unquestionably the better fighter but I don't see this huge difference in excitement. They both were involved in great fights with two way action, and good ones as well. They both had highlight reel knockouts. Since Trinidad didn't have the chin or defense of Hagler, he got knocked down a lot, which added to the entertainment factor.
Only big difference is that we got to see clinics from Hagler that we didn't see from Tito, because he wasn't nearly as skilled as Marvin.Comment

Styles makes fights, a prime tito at 147 -vs- any version of PBF at 147..wouldnt end well for PBF. Tito's stamina and power would take its toll on Floyd..Comment

hagler! me the man! he loved the tatoo of him on my leg,a true gent,funny how he told the stories about the build up to fighting tommy hearns,how they flew around usa promoting the fight,they flew on different planes & how hagler would tell the pilot to land first cus he was the champ, talked about the night when he felt like a world champ & it wasnt the night he beat alan minter.LEGENDComment

floyd isn't the power puncher that de la hoya, or hopkins was, and felix cound counter decent, especially with that left hook, so i don't think he would not mind getting hit by two, to get in one...and one is all he would need...Comment
