I still believe if Hearns had not broken his premier weapon in the first seconds of 'The War' that Marvin (a man with one of the very best chins in boxing history) would have been in deep, deep shit.

Top man, Tommy Hearns.
There can't be a boxing fan alive that doesn't like Hearns.
A real warrior who would fight the Devil on Satan's own terms if that was the way it had to be.
Hearns made the fatal error of trying to blast out the titanium chinned Hagler: he should have boxed because Marvin was slowing down in 1985 & was not quite as quick as he was previously.
I still think Marvellous would have pressured the Hitman into defeat later on, but it wouldn't have been the 3 round destruction that it turned out to be.
