    Robinson would never fight Burley. Sugar was alot of things but stupid wasn't one of them.

    Went Hagler, close but clear (assuming that this is Hagler at/near the form when he won a world championship). Yeah, Hagler could be hypnotized, but he always tended to snap out of it when needed-even arguably, in his last fight against SRL. So I think he'll lose a few rounds, but he'll win more by virtue of greater workrate and an ability to give Burley different looks due to his switch hitting.

    Plus, we're setting this in the 1940's where aggression and working off the front foot tended to carry greater emphasis in terms of how rounds were scored. Can't see the naturally larger Hagler playing the role of backfoot fighter in this one.

    Hagler UD 15 in an engrossing battle.
