I agree with you,but I will admit I never liked Leonard. If a fight was close he was fighting in the judges seem to always go with him.Just my opinion. | |||

Fixed fight. By giving Sugar Ray a bogus decision, they thought they would get a blockbuster rematch from Hagler. They were wrong and Hagler exited the sport forever. | |||

I saw it and thought Hagler got shafted. He was one of the best in his prime and that bout between him and Thomas Hearns was great one. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it."

Leonard was the "hometown kid" here in the DC Metro, so everyone was in his corner. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

The welter and middleweight divisions were loaded with great fighters in that era. My favorite was actually Wilfred Benitez, but boxing was fun to watch back then. Now I just wait for Terence Crawford’s next fight. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

I remember it well. Like many others, I thought Hagler deserved the decision. I still have the "Super Fight" VHS tape somewhere in the house. 十人十色 | |||

Couldn't stand Sugar Ray, he always had the judges help in my view. Didnt like Ali either, I dont like a show boat, be humble and thank god for the gifts you were given. There Plain and simple. HK Ag | |||
