    Hearns against Hagler ... Tommy went balls to the wall but really got destroyed in three rounds ...

    Good call. :good
    Hearns got totally annhiliated.




    (There's a whole big fat book of excuses though, of course. And another volume explaining what Hearns would do to Hagler in a rematch. :D)

    Duran - Hagler .. yes he went the distance but Hagler fought cautiously , was never in any trouble and pretty much won the fight going away ...

    Speaking of Hagler, i'd say he gets too much credit for his loss against Watts.

    imo it was close and Marv looked bad, yet it's usually depicted as a terrible robbery.

    Hagler had genuine issues with safety first fighters that would make him consistently lead imo.
