My Take
Hagler is my idea of what a champion should be: no glamour, no shortcuts, just relentless mastery. Coming out of hard streets in Newark, he had to fight twice as long for half the recognition his flashier peers got, yet he reigned over the middleweight division for seven years with twelve defenses, almost all by knockout. That 78 percent knockout rate among undisputed middleweight champions tells you everything about his cold efficiency. What earns my deepest respect is how he walked away after the disputed 1987 loss and never looked back. He let his fists, not his mouth, define his legend. A true craftsman.
