Hagler was awesome, but he dissappointed all his fans when he retired, he caught a bad decision but he did not have to go out like that.
yeah...that sucked bigtime....but he knew he was near the end and after all he did to have the judges do him wrong....well, he had nothing left to prove...
Yeah I agree with both of you in a way.. I wish he hadn't retired, but remember that Leonard refused him a rematch. Remember that. He had been on the slide for several years even before he was robbed in that fight anyways. Hearns was his last great performance, against Mugabi it was a thrilling war but in his prime he wouldn't have had the same kind of troubles imo, he was clearly past his best. But he did beat Leonard, and could have again. Since SRL refused to fight though, what else was left for Hagler to do?? Only risk tarnishing his legacy imo.
