I think they are the same in a lot of respects, and thought about this in length on the bus today.

1) Fighter coming out of what was more or less a retirement to fight the best fighter out there.
2) Hagler goes southpaw, De La Hoya stopped jabbing.
3) Stalking fighter versus a slippery fighter, defense won the fight in both cases
4) Neither were fights of the year by any means but tactically thrilling in bouts in which all 4 fighters had high spots.

Well...that's about it but I do think they are very similar and had Saddo's been around them, you would hear a lot of the same stuff you're ehearing now.
