    If you put Haglers heavy-handed power with SRL's snappy, quick punches, thered've been murders.

    It looked to me like an accumulation of punches that stopped Hearns, namely that 25 or so punch combination he nailed him with in round 13... he did catch Hearns with 1 solid right hand in round 6 that shook Hearns enough for Leonard to dominate round 7 & just edge round 8 but Hearns was back on his rounds 1-5 form from round 9 til 13 were it was both the tiredness and Leonard`s punches that wore him out.

    I`m going strictly from memory here though, I haven`t watched the fight in full for more than a year, I used to watch it regularly though.

    You could start off by comparing their mutual opponents, just saying?

    Sharp puncher vs a more solid one, with a slower delivery system. If both hit a guarded man, Hagler will make the bigger dent. Yet Ray could blitz people with his combination of timing, handspeed, offensive technique and land perfectly.
