    Style: 7/10
    A very effective style that balances offense and defense. Doesn't like to trade punches unnecessarily for the fans but would compete in enough to satisfy the fans. Most of his fights were sided but still exciting.

    Consistency: 8/10
    He consistently compete in more wars than you think actually. If I count properly, there is eight pretty good match in Hagler's career that you can watch.

    Quality: 6.5-7/10
    Like I said, though he was consistent, not every one of them are ATG fights, some are good but some just exciting enough for you to watch.

    Wars:
    Thomas Hearns
    John Mugabi
    Roberto Duran
    Sugar Ray Leonard
    Vito Antuofermo l
    Bennie Briscoe
    Marcos Geraldo
    Juan Damingo Roldan
    Alan Minter

    I like it tho, He had a great exciting career. He was able to stay effective manage his career properly whilst entertaining the fans enough so it doesn't cost his health or career.

    Well that's your opinion and not one I agree with. Theres countless fighters who were skillful who had plenty of exciting fights. Mark Johnson is another example of a highly skillful fighter who was very entertaining, I don't believe that watching two lesser skilled fighters, just pummel eachother always makes the best fights. I think the level of the fighters, what's on the line, the magnitude of a fight, and finally the skills on display make the best fights. Renaldo Snipes having a messy brawl vs Scott Frank and Lionel Washington, are not always what makes the best fights.
