I have been thinking about this fight and what If...
The fight had taken place when it was originally suppose to, not with so many cancellations and so many fights in between.
If Hearns didn't have such a dodgy hand, how much would this have effected him if he didn't have one? It was definatly a factor in the war.
Would Hagler have been so aggressive if he hadn't been cut so early on? Would Hagler have fought at such a high pace?
Or was Hagler just too strong for Hearns at middleweight and even with Hearns being fully fit for the fight would he have eventually stopped him?
Hearns should definatly boxed a lot more in this fight and I'm thinking if Hearns offered a more of a disaplined fight would he have beaten Hagler?
It was such a memorable contest though, I've been doing a lot of research on Hearns recentley and I do feel he had the tools to beat Hagler that night IMO.
