Can't fault me for liking who I like... like has nothing to do with respect. I respect Hagler. As for his style of fighting, it sucked.
I liked Felix Trinidad as a fighter too. But I was rooting against him for the DLH, Vargas and Reid fights. I just liked those guys and the way they fought a little more. So, shoot me!
What's also shocking is that I was rooting for Trinidad vs. Hopkins. Hate Hopkins style with a passion.... but I respect his record breaking achievements.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

I never saw the best Hagler which probably was when he was a boxer in the 1970's, he changed his style to be more aggressive as he got older. His war with Hearns is legendary but his fight with Mugabi is impressive as well. He was too timid and paid too much respect against Duran, but he slaughtered everyone else.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Hagler wasn't as fast, flashy or even have the overall skills as fighters like Leonard or Hearns but Hagler was one tough SoB. Hagler is as tough as they come. He is literally the very definition of what a fighter/warrior is.
You look at Hagler and what you see is exactly what it truly is to be a fighter and champion. Speed, power, skills and etc are secondary in fighting. Heart, desire and mental toughness is how you get to levels that Hagler went to.
These are the reasons people love Hagler.
Maybe Haglers style isn't as exciting as some but I can only wish I had inside me what Hagler has inside him.
