Hagler/Hearns is a spectacularly overrated fight

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I've never been able to appreciate the fight.

Maybe it's because I wasn't there, I wasn't part of that time I history. I hadn't seen and felt the build up and been totally blown away by the outcome.

Before i really got into boxing, I always used to hear "Hagler Hearns, one of the greatest fights" but as myboxing knowledge expanded, I honestly felt like that was a little bit of a crock of shit, saved as an advert for those who were barely casual fans at best because over the years and years of following and researching I could honestly find and write a double-sided A4 page of fights that I enjoyed more.

I understand the magnitude of the fight had to be a factor but for me, it seems to be a reason why I don't like watching this fight.

If Hopkins had of blown out Trinidad in three rounds and them everyone repeatedly insisted that it wad one of the greatest fights ever, it would spoil it for me.
