I think the comparison was more the way Hagler was stronger and Ray sort of won the fight with sharper punches, yet the exact same fight is hard to figure. Maybe Meldrick Taylor vs. Julio Cesar Chavez is a better comparison. I did not make the comparison. But it is a common style.. the stronger slower guy against the fast sharper boxer.. But the styles are not exactly the same of coarse not. But there are similarities. Marvin had not fought much in 2 years since he fought Hearns. he only had one fight. Same with Oscar and Hopkins in 2 1/2 years. Hagler was stronger and he was going to use his aggression. The difference of this fight and the Hagler Leonard was that Oscar did everything correct, but Floyd was too good. Hagler not fighting southpaw the first two rounds was the deciding factor in his fight. So Hagler took Ray for granted a little. Something Oscar did not do with Floyd .
