    Minter was prime Hagler .

    Hearns was his legendary decisive win.

    The Tony Sibson fight is Hagler at his peak IMO.

    Exactly this ... Minter was brilliant, especially considering the venomous hostility he had to contend with, but the Sibbo - Hagler's pugilistic perfection.

    That was always my 1st thought of Hagler at his best, the Sibson fight. This was the Hagler Ray Leonard wanted no part of.

    Sibson or Scypion was Hagler at his best. Hearns was him at his greatest.

    Sibbo for me.

    A pure fighting machine operating at peak efficiency. And Sibson was no pushover.

    Obel 1 is my favorite. That's the most complete Hagler performance imo. Marvin was a f**kin machine in that fight.

    All these are worthy shouts. I took the least likely choice of all those offered and said the Scypion fight. Why? Because of the ease by which Hagler dispatched a young, tough, determined top 10 challenger. It looked like a light sparring session where Hagler effortlessly obliterated him despite Scypion bringing everything he had.
