Whoa, Lyle ...... Hagler was the marquee fighter of most of the 80's. He was in classics with Hearns, Duran, Leonard et al.
Hagler was always fit, never disrespected an opponent, fought everybody around withour exception, kept the titles unified and was never knocked off his feet (i dont care what people say, he slipped against Hamsho)
I wouldn't usually even mention B-Hop in the same paragraph as hagler, never mind the same sentence!!
