    Hagler stepping beyond his comfort zone? Too unrealistic even as a hypothetical matchup.

    Curious that he never weighed in at 156 then huh? No way is any version of Hagler cutting another 10 lbs--with his physique, even another 3 or 4 pounds would have been somewhat risky.

    Since Moorer was a big LHW and Hagler was a Natural MW, I guess I'd favor Moorer. Wouldn't mean much as to who was the better fighter - Hagler was much better.

    I doubt that was his walking around weight.

    Yes, he would have more time to cut weight because of the rules in place now, but I doubt he would fight below MW.

    In a word ^

    Moorer is (much) bigger and has enough skill to make the difference count. Damn, why not do Hagler vs Holyfield next? :huh
