“I still think he won his match with Sugar Ray Leonard.”
Watched the fight, and Hagler backed Leonard into a corner almost every round and just laid some hurt bombs on him while Leonard slapped Hagler a of times each round with little taps. I don’t think Hagler was breathing heavy after the fight.
Pound for pound, Hagler was the best technician and pure fighter I ever saw with smart strategy, moves, no wasted action, and could hit like a mule. He never beat an opponent in his career, he punished them.

Sugar Ray said tonight, that fight with Hagler ‘was the closest he ever came to death.’
