Hearns was a legitimate middleweight who came into the fight heavier than Hagler with a substantial height and reach advantage. His KO's over Shular and Roldan proved he belonged there. Hagler did not have any kind of size advantages over Hearns. I don't even list the Mugabi fight as one of Hagler's greatest wins. But if you point out how small Mugabi was you can't ignore Griffen's size without using a double standard. Also, Benvenuti was way past his prime when he fought Monzon. That win is not even on par with Hagler beating Bennier Briscoe. You can't point out Duran being past his best without acknowledging that.
