And that's it??? Who else did he beat that's worth mentioning? Why is McNulty discrediting Hagler as a middle wgt? Will it be right to start discrediting Hopkins with his wins as a Middlewgt over Trinidad & DeLa Hoya? I don't think so. And for all those who critisize Hagler for not moving up in wgt to challenge a heavier fighter, remember back then there was no super middlewgt division (168 LBS). It was straightup from middlewgt (160 lbs) to lightheavywgt (175 lbs). That's 15 pounds son! And anyone that ever laced up some gloves will tell ya 15 pounds is a lot.Last edited by sugar ray lenrd; 06-28-2017, 12:54 PM.Comment

His best opponents are fighters that started at 2 or more weight classes below, granted they were great fighters but still smaller
Fighters today get **** on for beating smaller guys, yet Hagler gets all the credit in the world. He also never moved up in weight to challenge himself and nobody cares, but other fighters today get criticised for doing the same.
Very good fighter but not an ATG.Last edited by TheBigLug; 06-28-2017, 01:49 PM.Comment

He only fought smaller guys if he was certain he could win hahaha.
He was scared to death of Mccallum.
Hagler is a racist, a bully and a coward.
He was lucky to be around in an era of middleweight bums else he would have been put to sleep by a "real g".Comment

Duran moved up more than fifteen pounds when he faced hagler.
Bummy hearns and ray leonard also moved up vast amounts of weight throught their career. Did they not?
