yeah Hagler a good knockout percentage. When he fought Hearns he was I think 60-2-2 with 50 knockouts. Not bad at all. I think Hearns had more early knockouts, but they both retired with 67 fights and Hearns has 380 total rounds and Hagler I think near 399.. So they actually fought similar rounds and fights. Hagler had something like 14 title fights and Hearns had 19 title fights. But as for Hagler. He could punch and I think he was underrated a puncher. If he hit someone he hurt them and it didn't take long to see the damge.

Hearns hit harder just by what a few people said who fought both Hagler and Hearns. Roldan was asked who punches harder, Hagler or Hearns and very seriously without hesitation he said Hearns. But I think Hagler had a physical power to him which was not one punch like Hearns but it was hard enough that when he started to land he took over.

I never saw that Hearns was bigger than Virgil. As a matter of fact I thought Virgil had a big bone structure when I saw them in round one, and Tommy had a smaller bone structure, but his upper body looked bigger in the shoulders than Virgil. but not everything else. Virgil was obviously much more naturally bigger.
