I'm more impressed with what I see with the limited footage of the original Sugar man than Leonard

Who is greater, Leonard or Hearns. He ran for the hills. It must've been a pride thing, lmao.
2. You said Leonard didn't duck Hearns.
3. You then said Leonard ducked Hearns for 8 years to fight Hagler whom Leonard also ducked for 5 years until Hagler looked bad against Mugabi (he admitted this)
They only person you owned was yourself
Leonard also avoided a fight with Pryor who called him out. Refused a Duran rematch after that lame 2nd fight (until Duran was shot), refused Hagler a rematch after that VERY generous decision and refused Hearns a rematch after the 2nd fight robbery.
When you really break down his resume it's good but not among the top ATG's. Clever match making and lucky decisions.
Leonard: I was sitting there with Michael, and I'm watching Hagler get outboxed by a guy who is known as a slugger, John "The Beast" Mugabi. I said, "Michael, I can beat Hagler." He said, "Yeah, Ray, yeah." Everyone thought I was being a smart-ass. But I really saw a sign [in that fight]. I mean, I always felt I could outbox Hagler. If Mugabi can do that, I can do an even better job. That had the most bearing on my decision to go ahead with a Hagler fight. I felt he was at a point that he didn't have that same fire in his body or in his heart. He wasn't the same guy.Last edited by Jam Jars; 08-15-2012, 01:36 AM.
