Who fought better comp? Not beat, but just fought?

Dunno. Very close. Monzon has lots of great fighters and I think more underrated guys than Hagler, while Hagler has the more obvious greats if that makes sense.

Guys like Valdez were very underrated. I think there was a bigger jump between the best Hagler fought and the next best while the gap wasn't as wide with Monzon. He fought a lot of really great underrated guys and in a deeper era of talent in general, in my opinion, than Haglers middleweight run. Not by much of course and its arguable, but that's what I think.
