... as I'm sure Tommy Hearns will happily attest to.

of all the Hagler fights I have seen, the Hearns fight is the only fight where I saw him hurt and his legs give out a little and he had to regroup and hold. But to his credit he came right back and started throwing punches. Hearns is the only guy that I know actually hurt him and made Marvin flinch.
That was classic, wasn't it? When Tommy threw those big guns at Hagler (that would've KO'd 99.99% of Earth's population), and Hagler momentarily flinched and came back firing............ I felt sorry for Hearns, 'cause he must've said to himself: "Oh sh*t, he's still upright!"
As great of a fight as that was, I never got a full appreciation of it until well after I saw it. Seeing as how I was born after the fight, the first time I saw that fight, it was my first time watching both guys. Now I've seen most everything from Hearns, and now I have an appreciation of just how powerful that right hand is.
You're right, I can not imagine the feeling of just having someone walk through that when you know you connected with a perfect punch.
Hagler was a beast.
