Why didn't Hagler challenge himself

[TonyGe]

Dick Tiger was the champ at MW, moved up to LHW and became the champ there too.

Maybe Greb? Mickey Walker (his weight jumping was hard to follow)?

Gonna be a short list though. All the old timey weight jumps were hard.

If you are talking champs who just moved up without winning the LHW title then the list would be longer.

Yes it's a very short list but the OP can't seem to grasp this. Not only was Hagler Middleweight champ he was a unified champion. The incentive to move up wasn't there. Robert Duran who is one of my favorite fighters moved up for the money and because of weight issues. Gotta compare apples to apples.

I bet when Wilder wins tonight you're going to be screaming "Black Power" with your fist in the air. Bet!!

Yes, he's facing another black guy tonight but you know who's the relevant one.

Insecure ass, lmao.

Insecure ass, lmao.

I'm pretty confident. You really don't know me lol.


It's people like you that are insecure since you really don't have anything relevant to come back with, people like you play the "you're a racist/bigot" card.

Wilder won so congrats to him so go suck him off while hating on Golovkin.

How can any MWs have proved themselves to be great when Hagler was that dominant?

You can still have fighters deemed, by their contemporaries, to be great. No one thinks of Minter, Antuo and whoever else as great. Now some were still very good fighters and this isnt an argument about Haglers place at middleweight.

You would have to see the full discussion between me and john to understand why this arose.

[soul_survivor]

We just gonna have to agree to disagree I have already pointed out why Haggler is CLEAR ATG but what ever.

I never said he wasnt an ATG, quite the opposite actually lol

The discussion is about why Hagler didnt fight at LHW like most great MW champs before.

[soul_survivor]

Ok give me the names of all the Unified Middleweight Champions that moved up. Not guys that once held a title.

Robinson
Hopkins
Fitzsimmons
Flowers
Tiger
could mention Leonard himself although he never fought at the full lhw limit

etc etc

[nacho daddy]

ok thanks. cuz I could have swore he had fights at 47 and 54. I guess I was wrong. Thanks again for the correction

so what does that mean?? anyway you look at it Duran fought 25 lbs over his division and Hagler did not fight one ounce over his division

Robinson
Hopkins
Fitzsimmons
Flowers
Tiger

etc etc

You may want to recheck your list. I think only Fitzimmons was undisputed. In any event that's a very short list you came up withafter you said...
