Well you have to look at the whole picture...obvioulsly skill wise....he had great chin power ect....his heart was huge he never stopped fighting....

Resume is important...look at5 the names he fought not guys with padded records to make him look good he fought guys like...

Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Minter, Antufermo....all HOF fighters all of whom but Leonard he beat soundly..

He beat tough guys like...Mugabi who at the time....was 25-0 and knocking everyone out....Man that guy was a killer in his prime

Hagler fought in one of boxings greatest era's for middle and welterweights...plus most of his defenses were the 15 rd not 12 ( all but 3) not that hey all went that far but point is

Since winning the title his opponents record combined were an outstanding 687-55...that was only during his championship reign...that is more then impressive...especially with the names on that list....

Marvin was more then a good champion and more then just one of the best of his era...He was the greatest MW of all time hands down
