People who say Hagler was robbed or you have to definitively take the title off the champ, I have no time for that type of opinion.
I totally agree Rob! Few years ago I was on another site & that fight came up & wrote what we discussed here - 1 guy there thought Hagler won too but then watched the fight again & admitted now he could see how Ray won that fight.

A job I had years ago guys there thought Ray needed to knock down or KO Hagler to take the title & I told those guys it's called boxing for a reason.
