Hagler V Dick Tiger

He was. And just like Hagler didn’t try to go through Bennie Briscoe, I don’t think he’d try that against Tiger either. I think he’d box him and take a competitive decision.

 

So many have this impression of Hagler as this brawler type looking for ",War" ( A Shout to the cap he wore for Hearns) .
His no nonsense attitude also give this impression.
He was quite different though. He was a masterful counter puncher that was at his most effective when a fighter came at him.
This is where the fight would be won or loss for Tiger. Tiger also liked to counter, his best chance against Hagler is to use Duran's tactics, force Hagler to lead, counter him.
This fight probably wouldn't be as action packed as some may think.
I see this fight like Hagler's fight with Duran. But because of Hagler's better ability to move and maneuver against a relatively stationary Tiger Hagler wins by a convincing UD.
