Why has there not been another Hagler/Hearns round one in 24 years?

You might get your wish tonight mate. Somehow i get the feeling theres gonna be a modern classic made

 

Well, probably because it was the best single rd in televised history or thereabouts & its virtually impossible to exactly replicate an entire 3 mins of fighting.

There have been rds almost as good, Morales-Barrera I rd 5, Gatti-Ward I rd 9 were 2 of them.

 

Torres-Holt 2 was better then Hagler-Hearns...but neither were top P4P fighters though

but Vasquez-Marquez trilogy, both top P4P fighters, and the fights were better then Hagler-Hearns

honestly Hagler-Hearns is overrated, great fight, but not the best i've ever seen

 

Sorry, but i've seen loads of fights with rounds compareable and even better than round 1 of Hagler vs Hearns.

This fight also gets over-rated imo.

 

Because most top fighters fight more patiently than that.

Hell, those two guys rarely fought like that either. Hagler usually boxed patiently and Hearns usually didn't fire with that sort of reckless abandon, as even his early KOs over the likes of Cuevas and Hearns were more deliberate and set up.

 

Floyd vs De La Hoya round 4. Not quite there, but it was close.

 

A lot of the people who rate Hagler-Hearns so highly are taking into the account the magnitude of the event, the caliber of the fighters, and witnessed it live.

That plays a part.

There's a fairly good number of fights, with lesser (but still excellent) quality fighters, that are better for action and drama than Hagler-Hearns.

 

I refer you to Marquez-Vazquez fight 3, round 3.

 

How about naming a few - because I would love to check them out. Few fights start as explosively in the first few seconds. There's almost always a feeling out round before the action starts.

 

because these modern day boxers learned the art of running...

 

the hell has he been snortin? :rofl

 

I think he meant any rounds regardless of number, but here are some other great round 1s.

Michael Moorer-Bert Cooper
Ray Mancini-Arturo Frias
Joe Frazier-Jerry Quarry 1
Kendall Holt-Ricardo Torres 2
Juan Meza-Jaime Garza
