    Considering that he died in 72 I'm pretty sure he would leave them out.

    Wrong, he had a good defence and definitely could fight on the inside.
    Walker would get murdered trying to get inside. Also Steele could mix it up with anyone on the inside or out, a WW swarmer included.
    Completely irrelevant. But **** it I'll try one more time, it's not revisionist. It's there on footage and it's clear.

    Do these people forget about the WW division? Both Walker and Robinson were at the best there...
    Anyone who says Hagler couldn't beat anyone is severely deluded. It's like saying GGG couldn't beat anyone. He definitely can and so can Hagler.
    Cerdan? Are you taking the ****? These are the quotes your bringing?

    No need to take notes from someone who rates LaMotta above Hagler.
    I thought you were looking at Boxing Historians...
    Lol what? As soon as Hagler retired he was top 10 Material, that hasn't changed.
    Seriously? LaMotta, Zale, Flowers and Cerdan above Hagler?

    These are the Historical sources your using to back up your claims?
    Lmfao at Overlin beating Hagler.
    Why the **** is everyone so obsessed with Cerdan?
    Lololololol
    Darcy? Ryan? Klaus? Foh
    These guys can't carry Hagler's jock strap.
    Also where the **** are the Steele quotes? Hagler has nothing to do with this thread. And all of this irrelevant anyway, just learn what H2H means.

    You can't quote who you want but actually watch the footage and make up your own mind on the fight and don't rank them based of Historical Rankings.

    Note again absolutely no mention of Steele. Everyone mentions Walker. Why? Walker was considered an ATG in the league of fighter such as Hagler, Monzon, SRR. Steele was not. Study up!

    Because he's the most underrated MW. That's litterally the point we're all making, that and Rankings don't matter.
    Irrelevant. Still.

    Also they mentioned Ken Overlin, which is ridiculous, and he was curbstomped by a past prime Steele and they said he would beat Hagler, they also said that Hagler and Monzon were on the same Level. Therefore
    Shot Steele > Overlin > Monzon+Hagler
    They also said that Walker > Hagler
    So by simple extrapolation we can tell that shot Steele and Walker are both better than Hagler to some degree, with Walker moreso.

    Then we take into account that a prime Steele was much better than a shot one, so simple logic tells us that Walker and Steele are on the same level.

    Study Up! Crowcroft Destroys...

    I took it as being from the same article given the first 7 were all taking about where Hagler stood against other great middleweights.

    Shows how much i follow Fleischer, and Bert Sugar for that matter!!!

    Steele is not mentioned for a reason. He never was considered an ATG in league with Walker.

    You’re a child George. If you continue to follow the sport your thoughts will evolve as you gain more knowledge. All you do is guess currently which is to be expected as you are to inexperienced to do otherwise.

    I was taking the **** when I said he was. Only a cretin who hasn't boxed thinks that "ATGs" and "leagues" play more part in a match up than Styles.

    Great comeback kid. Don’t come to a fight with a pea shooter when facing a bazooka.

    Your a Bazooka? Tone your ****ing ego.
    How else could I respond? You said something ridiculous and false and I laughed in your face.
