His only official knock down was against Juan Roldan. Hagler was not hurt.

Round one of the Roldan fight, yeah. As Asterion says, it's highly debatable as to whether it should have been called a real knockdown. I've seen worse knockdown calls, but Hagler slipped momentarily, Roldan swung a wild right around the back of Hagler's head, sort of pulled him forward, and Hagler fell to his hands and knees for just a moment. In no way was he even close to hurt.

For all intents and purposes, absolutely not. Roldan shoved Hagler down with his arm on the back of Hagler's neck, and referee Carlos Padilla blew the call, simple as that. I remember that at the press conference following Hagler's win, that Marv was going to petition to have Padilla's errant ruling overturned, especially since it wasn't a scoring blow to a permitted area of Hagler's body.
