And btw in real life he never beat up his brother, he beat his best friend Pete. Maybe instead as d of watching the movie you should read of the REAL LIFE AND career of LaMotta. And all boxing history. Also btw, at HIS best, Hagler-Leonard was not a stalker, he was a boxer~puncher who developments out. He was not a hunting puncher until the end of his career, when age forced him to change. The Hagler of Hearns and on was not Hagler at his greatest.
Hagler not Hagler-Leonard like my phone keeps putting, beat guys down by boxing them not stalking and slugging.
Wow! Wrong. Look at the rankings for middle and lighthearted and during 1940-51, Haglers opponents can't compare. And really look at the records of Briscoe (who I saw live many times he was the epitome of a fighter. But, totally washed up by the Hagler-Leonard fight), Watt, Monroe and Cyclone when MMH beat them. Not top contenders. Then study Jake's record. No comparison. Prime Briscoe gives Hagler he'll and maybe beats him.
