Hagler/Hearns is a spectacularly overrated fight

[Violent Demise]

It's not overrated. For the simple fact that top fighters like that don't go at each other the way they went at each other. The way they fought is the way De La Hoya and Trinidad should of fought

That's the argument for it.

It doesn't hold a candle to Castillo-Corrrales 1. Toney-Jirov shits all over it.

Hell, Ward-Burton is a lot better fight from a pure fight perspective, much less Ward-Gatti. And those are just well known "lower-level" fights, there are an endless amount of fights that were better from a pure action perspective.

None of them were as highly ranked as them 2. It was the number 1 Junior middleweight against the number 1 middleweight. Ray Leonard was retired in 1985. So it was pretty much the number 1 pound for pound fighter vs the number 2 or 3 pound for pound fighter.
