Hagler's usual style was actually more stylish and polished than his showings with Hearns.
However when he adopted the swarming and aggressive mentality he near always got impressive results.
With Hearns the KO, with Mugabi the KO, with Minter the KO, with Leonard he won rounds he had been losing boxing.
Haglers chin and ability to corner his man or trap him on the ropes (Leonard is actually a good example,) would have pinned Roy and although Hagler would have been clipped he would have scored heavily.
