Hagler was a tough nut, he was hurt alright. He was cut too, that cut was serious and if he didn't knock Tommy out in the 3rd it is unlikely Hagler could've continued beyond rounds 4 and 5? It wouldn't have been Hagler's choice, but the cut would've seen a stoppage.
As it happened he took all of Tommy Hearns best shots and survived, he then stepped on the gas after being cut and finished the job. Hagler had a granite like chin and i think Tommy Hearns was genuinely shocked Hagler didn't go down after landing so many big shots. If anything it appeared to have galvanised Hagler and he was relentless for the next two rounds. Would loved to have seen a rematch, but c'est la vie.
As for any others, Monzon would've taken all Hearns shots and probably KO'd him the same way Hagler did.

Great list.
Can add Kid Gavilan, Ezzard Charles, Nigel Benn and Oscar de la Hoya to the list.
Not many WW but more MW and LHW would just because of their size and weight.

I don't think Light Heavyweights should really come into play here, seeing as this was a middleweight fight.
LaMotta would've taken it.
Robinson, too.
I'm not sure about anybody else. Pryor probably had a pretty decent chance of staying in there.
I don't really think Hagler was hurt, either. The guy's dome was hard like a football helmet. He had a fantastic chin. If he was hurt, he recovered fantastically.
