I can't understand why Hagler did not gave Hearns a rematch. Hearns broked his right hand in the first fight taking away his primary weapon. I still beleive Hagler would had ko Hearns in a longer fight in 7 or 8 rounds.

He was going to fight him again until Leonard came out of the woodworks. I think Marvin would have stopped him again. The fight that was postponed in 81 or 82 would have been more interesting imo. Hearns was more of a boxer during that period and it would have been Marvin's first huge fight. If he had a bit of the stage fright he had with Duran, Tommy would have out-boxed him.

The same with Leonard if the Leonard would had fought Hagler in 1982 or 1983. I do not think he could had beat him.
