    I thought Hagler’s dissection of Hamsho in the first fight was outstanding. Hamsho was clearly the second best 160-pounder in the world for several years, he earned that #1 ranking, and Hagler treated him like a baby treats a diaper.

    Several from Watanabe. He had a habit of playing with his opponents so there's always some good stretches of his technical movement and offense to watch. The Ballas bout is especially impressive imo given how good a technician Ballas was.

    Came here to say this one. Maybe my favourite Hagler performance.
