Well all I know is you look up best middleweights of all time... and Hagler makes most lists, if not all. Some have him as top 5... most have him at least top 10.

He was the quintessential warrior... antithetical to some of what we see nowadays (no need for specifics from me).

He never feared anyone... he never ducked anyone for fear of losing or getting knocked out.

If he cashed out in the last fight of his career by facing possible TBE Ray Leonard... hey... all the more power to him.

Back then there was no Facebook... no Instagram... and less unwarranted hype to puff up a fighter's following or cash value.

Back then there were no coddled divas.

I just think that if Hagler had fought that last fight with the fury and intensity he fought Hearns... it would've been a hell of a different fight.
