    Hagler off course! Whitaker was boring to watch.

    Oh yeah, too technical and all that, right?

    Few fighters were ever as imaginative or creative in the ring. What a damn shame you can't see it. :-(

    Pea IMO. No disrespect to Hagler though.

    Hagler is definitely an ATG but right here, right now... He's a ****ing battle tank man. He just ran through people. It was his style to a tee. Hearns and Mugabi! Blue trunks Hagler!

    The sweet one had more skill, of course, but Hagler was tougher under pressure. Plus, who doesn't prefer a guy who loves to KO his opponents?

    Hagler, for me.

    Hagler is greater because he was more fun to watch an because he punched harder? Ok..

    I assume you're messing with me because of how many times I've mentioned I've discussed Hagler's normal boxer style.

    Mugabi fight was damn good though.

    So much for rose-tinted glasses. Even Merchant was dishing respect out at the time. Roy Jones Jr on that piece too discussing his P4P rivalry with Pernell.

    Add a poll.

    I vote Hagler.

    I think a poll would show Hagler by a landslide.

    Highest respect for 'Pea though.

    Tossup. But I think Pea edges him a few spots. Hagler is the more iconic figure & name in boxing because he's apart of the 80's and fab four. That could explain the responses. Nothing wrong with having Hagler ahead, either.
