    I don't think OP understands the meaning of "almost knocked out".

      Just further testament to Hagler's greatness. Tommy's power carried well through the weight classes as well so it can't be said he was'nt a legit middleweight. As you said, some of those shots that Tommy landed would of outright floored most guys and if it did'nt they would of at least had them in trouble. Hell I can't even say those punches hurt Hagler at all. He may of been buzzed by a few, but in the end Hearns chose the wrong way to fight Hagler that night lol.

          It was more of a cuff. Rodan threw a punch and missed and his arm pulled Hagler down.

            Hagler took those punches well and kept his composure, he was bringing the heat like de niro.

              that is because all of the elite fighters hagler fought were smaller guys like the 135 duran

                the way to tell if hagler got hurt in a fight is when he did against roldan and Mugabe he severely thumbs them in the eye. roldan would have ko'd hagler if he wasn't blind from the thumb. carlos monzon was screaming at roldan to get up knowing he would have won. Hagler made a career out of beating LW WW and JM's mike spinks begged baldie to move up Hagler said I rather fight LW's

                  Do you really believe this garbage or are you really this ******? At no time in your post did you present anything that could be considered a rational thought and everyone who read your post is now dumber for having done so.

                    He was definitely hurt in the epic first round. They were mauling each other though. He never seemed ready to go..

                      He got touched for sure but I don't think he was remotely close to being knocked out. Tommy lost his head in that fight. He should have boxed.
