If we are talking prime for prime then I would take Hagler by a decision, he was a very versatile fighter who could box very well which is often overlooked. he also had a great ability to switch between orthadox and southpaw which could be off putting.

Also good to see that when the names of Leonard and Hagler come up there only ever seems to be one mentioned in relation to cherry picking and moving weights to avoid people....and it aint Marvin !!
That said I still admire Leonard for some of his fights but think he was a sneaky shit at times.
Only at times?

He gave Floyd Mayweather the blueprint.
