Hagler's biggest wins came at the end of his career but imo, the best Hagler has ever looked was when he first won his title from Minter and around year 5 in that amazing 11 year undefeated streak. He didn't get that real big fight until he fought Hearns almost 9 years in.

Whitaker unfortunately just didn't have anyone to fight. No superstars. I mean...even though he had beat Azumah Nelson and Paez. His biggest victory was versus Chavez and it was one in which he didn't get the decision. I think the fans really longed for more after that fight. And past Chavez, his most memorable fights were versus McGirt. Now McGirt was a very good fighter, very skillful but he still didn't carry the weight that the other great fighters had on their resume. He tried to get the big fights. He tried to get DLH after Chavez, didn't get him for years, he tried to get Quartey, didn't work and he tried to get a few more. One of the BEST fighters of all time, unfortunate he couldn't get the big fights in his prime.

De La Hoya I'm not so sure of. Whitaker, Chavez, Trinidad, Leija, Carr, Mosley, Quartey ect...he got plenty of big fights in his prime.

Don't know enough about Holyfield...other then the recent ones, I've only seen the Quawi fight at cruiser and the Bowe and Tyson fights and I haven't really compared them.

How about Ray Robinson? I think most would agree that his biggest wins were at 160, but he was at his best at 147. He spent years and years at 147 but a real quick scan of his record and the only name that really jumps out at you is Kid Gavilan. Now I know Ray himself had a lot to do with not getting a lot of the big fights because of his off the wall contract demands but still...
