    We all know how THE FIGHT went.How would Hagler do against a larger Hearns? Would he be able to hand:happyle the extra weight?

    The 1992 LH Hearns was a shot fighter who quickly learned to adapt his defence to make up for shot legs ,speed loss and a reduced chin and was still a very formidable boxer when he was given room to box.This guy would box carefully like he did with srl ,hill and olajide.I think he has,a decent chance to outbox hagler

    The 1987 LH Hearns is obviously faster and still mobile....but very very confident still and at this,stage of his career was banging out fighters with arrogant contempt.This guy would be more prone to trading even after the fresh 1985 defeat.

    I think the 1992 Hearns beats Hagler post 85 , and also has a decent chance against other versions

    I think Hagler has Hearns' number in any weight class.
