I'm not going to go so far as to say it was a "spectacularly" overrated fight, but I do believe that it's relatively short length does DQ it from being mentioned with fights like Castillo/Corrales and Gatti/Ward, where you had a full fight's length of ebbs and flows and great action. They had a great compeditive first round, but after that Hagler took over in a big way.

But it was a great fight, because like people mentioned it's very rare to see top, A-class fighters fighting it out like dogs in the ring, without fear of consequence (which was a dumb strategy by Hearns, in hindsight).
