    Do you mean when Marvin mystifyingly went orthodox? I had him ahead two rounds anyway.

    He takes a split win over Ray and maybe, just possibly stops Duran. Bit hard to pick a ko win over Duran, apart from Hearns, but maybe a n aggressive Hagler would.

    Let me tell you something tough man. Look at 95 % of my posts and I end them saying IMO. Just because I occasionally forget to do that now I'm confrontational?? I'm one of the handful of guys on here that actually refuses to get caught up into 5 pages of back and fourth BS like I get paid to defend my opinion lol. I'm the first to say to each his own. The only time I may get a bit aggressive or aggravated is when someone who knows where wants to act aggressive with me behind a keyboard. So please go peddle your made up BS with someone else.

    I've never thought lack of aggression was all that much of an issue versus Leonard. :nusenuse:

    I never said he wasn't.
    But look at the men he fought, and HOW they fought. The ones that came at him, he destroyed them, the ones that forced him to initiate, did very well, Willie Monroe, Bobby Watts, Roberto Duran, Ray Leonard.
    Duran Countered him beautifully, it's the reason the fight was close, Though Hagler definitely won based on the stregnth of the last 4rds of that fight. But should that fight have ever been in doubt? Or should it have looked more like Duran's fight with Hearns?
    It's the primary reason he loss to Leonard, he was forced to initiate, and he sleep walked early on in the fight. He was hesitant.
    In both of those fights if he came out in attack mode like he did with Hearns......
    Were not having this debate. Hagler like every fighter in history had a weakness. But unlike most fighters it was something that could have been adjusted.
