Opinions?

That was a good compilation, but they should have ended it was a spectaular Hagler ko. But none the less it was a good video.

Yeah, people forget how destructive Hagler was during the 79-83 period.... he would totally dismantle opponents... certainly one of the best Middleweights ever, ...probably top 5 all timer at 160...

It was a good video, but didn't show much of him at his best. As Silkov mentions, Hagler would dismantle his opponents piece by piece in his prime. Forget the Hagler of '84-'87... Check him out around '77'-'83. He was a surgeon who carefully dissected his opponents with crisp, slicing punches, doing only what he had to do to win. If the situation required, he would turn into a swarmer and brawl with his opponent and take them down. He was a professional through and through, trained hard and loved the fighting game. In terms of middleweight accomplishments he is second only to Monzon in my opinion, but I also rate him the best in a head-to-head sense.
