Yes but why is it the best to you ?? 1st round was amazing but other than that it was one sided. There have been much better fights IMO than Hagler vs Hearns i'll name 10 right now.

Corrales vs Castillo 1
Eubank vs Watson 2
Ramirez vs Rosario 2
MAB vs Morales 1
Sithchatchawal vs Monshipour = Better 1st round than Hagler vs Hearns.
Gatti vs Ward 1
Holyfield vs Bowe 1
Barkley vs Duran
Chacon vs Edwards 2
Chacon vs Limon 3
Those are some of the best fights that you listed there BUT you gotta understand this was Hagler vs. Hearns.
Without disrespecting the fighters.
Chacon, Boza, Barkley, Bowe, Gatti, Ward, Sithchatchawal, Monshipour,
Ramirez, Rosario, Watson, Corrales, JLC are no where near the caliber of greatness that surrounds Hagler & Hearns. Again no disrepect to any of them but in All Time lists let's say top 50. I'm not even sure if half of them make it in there.
This was 40-1 vs. 60-2-2, the best Middleweight of his time facing off against Hearns who had just blasted off Duran. Who in turn had beat SRL who had beat Hearns. Who Hagler had gone the distance with Duran in a tough fight... So you see ICB theres more then meets the eye there. It's more then just the actual 3 rounds as other people have said it's leading to the fight and the events that took place leading up to it. It's like the 24/7's we have now and the Countdowns. Imagine a kid some 20 years from now watching PBF vs. Hatton without the build up? They'll just say 'Oh! it was a really good KO win by PBF' the fight was ugly too much holding in the begining and not a lot of drama'
That would be because they didn't see the 24/7 they didn't the countdowns the weigh in....
I have a really good copy of Hagler vs. Hearns with pre-fight int. build up with interviews, highlights of previous fights and all.
