    The Hagler who fought Duran and Leonard. Not the destruct and destroy one Hearns unfortunately met that night. Marvin knew he had to rush him,before Hearns was able to set up and start boxing. Suppose Hagler didn't know of Hearn's abilities? How would this play out?

    Yea and Leonard KO"D Hearns, yet in the rematch the best Hearns could do was.a draw:lol:..

    Duran KO"d Barkley, yet Barkley knocked Hearns senseless..

    And to answer the topic, Hagler anytime waxes Hearns, I wish they would have had. A rematch, so Hagler would have knocked him cold again, Hagler can take whatever Hearns had, but Hearns didn't have the chin to take Marvins shots over a long fight:-(..

    Moral of the story styles make fights..

    Yet Hagler and Leonard struggled with Duran and we all knew what Hearns did.One of the greatest kos ever!Leonard admitted defeat to Hearns after the draw,and so did many others,Its styles.Thats why we have the fab 4,They all were amazing.Hearns was the only one that got as high as cruiser weight I think,and was fairly sucessful.

    That was a travesty, Hearns clearly won the rematch.

    Oh my bad Duran won a decision against Barkley..

    I was thinking about James Toney who waxed Barkley:patsch..

    Damn it was 1989, long time ago..

    Ok whatever he still couldn't beat Ray convincingly:-(

    Ray knocked him out, so obviously Ray got the better of the 2 fights..
