Dude, SRL was out of the game for 3 years and still got a clear win!!!There was a reason Leonard refused to give Hagler a rematch. Hagler was deadly in rematches. What champion other than Hagler defends their title 4 times a year against the best and highest ranked challengers? Nobody. Hagler was a special champion and a great warrior who gave all the top contenders a shot at his title.
Hagler in rematches vs who...Antuofermo or Hamsho? Come on man, fcuk those dudes!
Hagler had to fight 4x/year cuz he was fighting **** fighters for **** pay and blamed The Man when he should have blamed himself. How come he never moved up like ALL the greats did?
Caveman Lee, yea that guy was the BEST!
If Hagler didn't QUIT, SRL would have 118-110'd him in a rematch. Hagler gave up the first half of the fight like a b1!tch. SRL was the better man and clearly won the fight.
Pro's ain;t the amateurs kid. I'll score body shots if they do damage or are overwhelming, truth is SRL did body work too and whatever Hagler threw at him SRL came back with COMBINATION punching. Hagler's power had ZERO effect on Ray.Comment

He is definitely overrated in some circles. He is at best the third best southpaw behind Sweet Pea and Pacman. His resume was pretty overrated considering his wins were against guys who's best days were in smaller weight classes.Comment

Amen brother!I will go to my grave remembering Hagler as a great middleweight. You can always hand pick one fight to discredit a great fighter. Duran gave him a harder fight than expected but Hagler would have beaten him easier in a rematch. If you want to make Duran look bad hand pick his fight with Hearns. If you want to make Leonard look bad hand pick his KO loss to Camacho. If you want to make Sugar Ray Robinson look bad hand pick his loss to unranked Ralph Jones. Hagler only needed 3 rounds to beat Hearns and I thought he beat Leonard as did about half the fans who saw the fight. There was a reason Leonard refused to give Hagler a rematch. Hagler was deadly in rematches. He had a few rematches and he always won them much quicker and easier than the first fight.Hagler had a lot of wear and tear on him by the time he fought Leonard because Hagler was a real fighting champion. He went to war against all the very best middleweights 4 times a year. What champion other than Hagler defends their title 4 times a year against the best and highest ranked challengers? Nobody. Hagler was a special champion and a great warrior who gave all the top contenders a shot at his title.Comment

All those guys that hagler fought that came from smaller wgt division, were GREAT fighters, Special fighters...they are all LEGENDS! Why are is this poster trying to discredit Hagler? Mugabi was a worthy challenger, as was Hamsho, Scypion, Simpson, Roldan. I'd like him to show me an undisputed world middlewgt titleholder that did better?Comment
