In this situation I believe you had the right to ask the dealer to show your opponents mucked cards. Usually even if the last aggressor has mucked his cards, they are identifiable and the dealer can flip them over.

I personally find it very annoying when players at the table don't want to show their cards. Especially when there are several players and clearly none of them have a strong hand. I will usually flip my cards up right away just to move things along. Man up and flip your cards over, who cares how bad it was, find a way to use that to your advantage later.

Another advantage of always flipping your cards up is that you may have misread your hand or your opponent may have misread his. This way you aren't accidentally mucking the best hand. I had a player at the opposite end of the table show his two cards and say he had a straight and I folded my top pair. It turns out he misread the board and only had 4 cards to the straight. I was kicking myself over it, but figure it was my fault for believing what the other player said. The dealer felt differently and called the manager over. The dealer was able to identify my cards in the muck and I was awarded the pot because whether it was an accident or not, they considered the other players actions misleading and potentially a form of cheating.
