    Seems Hagler has his haters.............

    Problem is he is a top five Middleweight and anyone who can't see that...................can't see!
    The story of "picking" on smaller men is a joke, Hagler at 5'9" and could make
    158 easily for his entire career was not a big Middleweight. All of the men who moved up from welter were as big or bigger! He started at 160 and fought full fledged 160's right from his start!

    Theres something about a boxing fan who hates that I hate! hahahahaha.. must be the coward-est in the use of the word!
    Imagine someone who has never fought calling a former ATG Middleweight a coward or demeaning his accomplishments. Boxing fans can be the worst in sports at times.

      Hagler had an insane chin. That straight right hand that landed head on Hagler ripped his head open, Hearns said is this man even human? Hearns had some legit one punch KO power, he had a size advantage on Hagler, Hearns was 6 foot 2 and even though he fought at 147, he was known to be a sponge he would sap water and hydrate back easily. He only moved up because he couldn't do that anymore.

      When someone takes your bet power shot it demoralizes you, and Hearns was in a down hill struggle, that fight was one of the very few SUPER fights that ever lived up to the hype, but its only because you had two warriors going at it. They really wanted to hurt each other. Thats what I loved about Hearns man, Hearns when he said he would come for your ass he really was coming for you, dude never backed down from a fight, he brought it every single fight, only way you could really beat him is by knocking him out or having power, he never really got outboxed as far as I remember he was winning that Sugar Ray Leonard super fight, until he got stopped late.

      Hearns is a rare breed, this guy wanted KO's, just check his freaking record, you need to have some power to keep him off you.

      I think if Hearns were alive today with these small welterweights he would have destroyed every single one and they would have called him the greatest of all time, he would knock Floyd silly, Pacquiao, Marquez, Margarito, Cotto, Bradley, Thurman, Porter, Hatton, line them up they would all get sparked out his long ass arms and power and height were too much or these little welters.

        Although it was ruled as a knockdown the replay shows it shouldn't have been ruled as one.

            I agree with everything you said except the part about him being alive today. He is very much alive.
