For me even as a die hard Hagler fan it's nowhere near clear cut, I agree that Hagler edges it over some other big names like BH but to dismiss Monzon is just plain silly. Monzon made Hatton look like a dedicated workhorse with his lifestyle and still managed to chalk up a record for defences second to none.
My heart says Hagler would edge it over Monzon, but my head thinks too close to call, esp if Monzon put some dedication in. The one thing i always admired about Hagler was his willingness to take on anyone and how he stuck to his task in going about getting his shot. When you look around now and see people getting a title shot after 10 fights it puts his career into perspective.
Ideal scenario Hagler v Monzon ....a Draw
