    Hearns was at his absolute peak vs Schuler according to Manny Steward.

    He didn`t do anything in that bout that he did v Hagler, he was posting with his lead hand to keep Shuler on the outside at one point and looked a litle vulnerable for a second, but yes what a KO, what I meant was his middleweight career as a whole compared to his career adding 147-154 together, he was amazing at those weights.

    OMG! He landed 6 devastating rights and hurt Hagler in the opening seconds, he won the first round, go back and watch.

    Just on power alone, Canelo is barely in the top 10 of if rated with people Hagler fought. He's certainly a more complete fighter than a lot of those guys though (ex. Hart, Mugabi, Lee). Canelo's power would not be a significant issue for Hagler to deal with...especially if it were a same day weigh-in situation.

    I've seen it 100 times. He never did land his signature bomb. He landed some hard rights but they were almost a touch atypical.

    Yeah i reckon he's packed a decent punch in more recent years.
