Marvin Hagler underrated?

[joseph5620]

he reason does not get mentioned with the others is that he was one-dimensional while the other three clearly were more well-rounded. Besides he got lucky that Hearns broke his hand, fought a bloated Duran and got made a fool out of by Leonard. He is the least talented of the four.

Only in NSB will you see a boxer puncher who could switch from southpaw to orthodox get called one dimensional. Pathetic.

He is generally regarded as 1 of the all time greats & a hall of famer, deservedly so. I don't know how much more rated he should be.

I cannot believe some of the absolute shite I read on this site. Hagler was/is in the argument for being the greatest MW of all time. His name is of equal standing with the other three, its crazy to suggest otherwise as a fighter and as a man.

Then Margarito hits harder than Trinidad

I don't think he's underrated either. He's recognized as one of the greatest middleweighs in history.

As huge a fan of Hagler as I am, he's easily one of my 5 all time favorites, he doesn't get the recognition of Duran and Leonard because those guys were greater. I especially hate to admit it about Leonard, but it's true. Doesn't change that Hagler is arguably the best MW ever and one of the great fighters this sport has ever seen.

I don't think many people consider Hearns greater, though.

I think marvin gets his due.. The guy is universally excepted as an ATG, and one of the top 3 mw champs in history

Just plain wrong

So if you can switch hit, you're automatically three-dimensional?
