What gave him the the most satisfaction looking back, holding the title for so long or his rise up through the ranks and beating the tough Philly middleweights of the era plus Finnegan etc

And when is he going to write an autobiography?

A few questions for Hagler:

1. They called Duran "Hands of Stone" but despite being naturally a lighter weight, how hard did Roberto Duran hit?

2. In regard to fighintg Leonard, do you think you would have won the rematch? And had the two of you fought in the 70s, do you think you would have took him?

3. His preferred fights:
If he could fight any Middleweight from the past, who would it be?
If he could fight any Middleweight from the past dacade, who would it be?

Did he ever consider bulking up some and fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world?
(of course it seems obvious to me that a few of the once middle-weights and light-heavyweights
who later bulked up in the 1990's and 2000's look like that may have taken growth hormone
and steroids to bulk up,I dont think that the Marvelous One would have ever considered going that route to get bigger)

Given he had no intention of fighting the light heavies, I think the answer's a no.

Ask him how retirement's been for him, will he ever do an autobiography and any plans to make more films?

Please ask him about the Finnegan fights. I've never seen tham and I'm not sure they are available.

Apparently they were hard fought matches.

Also, is it true that early in his career there was an offer to fight Monzon?

In hindsight, in the fights you did not win ie Boogaloo Watts I , Vito Antuofermo I, do you think any of them were justified?

Which fighter surpirsed you the most, with their ability and skills, that you fought?

Opinions today's MWs, Martinez, Williams, Pavlik, for example and which MWs have impressed you since your own retirement?

What kept him motivated while preparing for fights?

When is his book coming out? (this has been mentioned)

What did his training regime consist of?

Is he still involved with boxing?

His ability to take a punch, where'd it come from? (already mentioned)

What life lessons has he received from boxing?

"if you had to do it again - would you allow the leonard
fight to be your last statement in the ring or would you
now pursue for a few more fights?"
