40 years ago Ray Leonard stopped Tommy Hearns

[War Room]

ive met tons on big gob****es like you before each one of them have taken knap on the street pavement......the ironic thing the top 2 heavyweight in the world are English and you have one as your avatar and signature pic ..you can’t make this **** up lol
what a wanker
look I won money on Leonard when he beat hagler and yeah it’s a great performance but he was not in his prime and neither was hagler.
leonard was brilliant against Duran in New Orleans and schooled him but it had controversy.
leonard vs hearns was 2 fighters in there prime with tactical moves, high drama and come from behind knockout which ranks as the greatest welterweight fight in history and yes it’s Leonard’s finest performance and most experts agree ....now wind your neck back in tosspot....now don’t respond to my posts again if you cannot have a decent discussion

Never even came close to being put to sleep on the streets, last time I lost a street fight I was 12 years old. As a man, always stood over those that opposed me. I was talking the ring, I'm far more deadly on the streets. Streetside, you'll have a forever limp.

Right now UK has the top 2, in the worst era of HW's in boxing history. Enjoy the Burger King crown.

You wont money on Ray but you were like 13 years old. What a lying sac of ****e!

You're a poor excuse of a man, very frail and scattered. Piss off.

They boxed in April 6th 1987 which is 6 years after the first leonard vs hearns fight which was September 16th 1981.....that’s almost 6 years ****stick and was just 17 and my brother placed the bet in the bookies ......you don’t even know your dates wanker I suggest you learn of boxing before you try to compete with me gumbo.....I was 12 when leonard boxed hearns in 1981.
don’t you realise what an idiot you’ve just made yourself out to be. Leonard v hearns 1981. Leoanrd vs haggler 1987 lol....what a clueless crackhead

your hilarious ....everybody who knows boxing knew the first fight with hearns was way before he came back to beat hagler.....so I couldn’t stay 12 for ever unless I’m Peter Pan who don’t age lol.
ohh I said everybody my mistake you didn’t know it was years apart lol.
Now stop replying to me you been shown to be clueless except your defeat and move on.

I know which came first ya nonce.

You weren't born and these fake ages you keep posting are hard to keep track of. You weren't alive for either, not sure how I'm remotely even close to being wrong to be frank.

Got yer plunger? My toilet is clogged lmao.

Leonard just did an interview where admitted Hearns should have won the rematch

[Willie Pep 229]

How can you even say that....Leonard had hearns out on his feet 6,7,8 and had it been 12 rounds would have gone on Hearns earlier ....hearns legs were still fresh after 12 rounds and was roaring the crowd on....it was Leonard’s right hand that took Tommy’s legs away in the 13th
and if it was 12 rounds Leonard would of also put a bit more pressure on hearns at the start of the fight...The scores were also to wide and easily round 7 could have been scored 10-8.
it’s completely different fight where your tactics would change.
The sound bites that Dundee said would have been said at the start of round 10.
no way on Earth was hearns ahead by 117-111 with Leonard winning 4 out of the 1st 10 rounds and round being a huge round for him.
.

I don't agree but we both made our points.

I would like to add that in the second fight (which Leonard has graciously stated several times that he thought "Tommy won that fight") I felt that Hearns barely survived the 12th (and final) round. My gut feeling was, had there been three more true championship rounds to go Leonard probably would have stopped Hearns again. He, Hearns, looked (in the 12th) like he was running on fumes.

Wait, I guess I want to go back to the original point, sorry. -- If what you say about Leonard in the first fight, stepping up earlier had it been a 12 rounder, why then did he not do so in the scheduled 12 round second fight? I think Hearns being gassed in the first fight is an important factor.

in the first I would say they were physically way superior to what they showed in 1989......I mean in terms of movement , styles and also in stamina don’t forget it was 110 degrees under those lights in Caesar’s in 1981.
astonishing to think they could battle like that over 14 rounds.
There was one major thing missing from Leonard that he he had 1981 that he didn’t in 1989 was speed and timing and that were the 2 main fundamentals of Leonard when finishing fighters.
He slowed down an awful lot in 1989 which in truth made him a beatable fighter.
another thing I will add is Leonard took hearns best punches and never showed one time he was hurt and disregarded hearns power after he had hearns almost out mid stages...he became the puncher.
2nd fight hearns hurt Leonard Leonard quite a few times which I think made him wary specially when you’ve been out the ring and retired again ...civilised
so I think he was slightly gunshy of hearns power and the fight was actually turned into a slug fest.
The thing is it’s hypothetical and we will never know for sure...all I know is they were both so well matched it always would be a cliff hangar.
This situation would also apply to
1 would Marciano have stopped Walcott if it was a 12 rounder
2 would Louis have stopped billy conn.
we just don’t know as the fight would have a different situation.
But at least we can have respectful debate

[billeau2]

I never said I was at the venue ya dumb fcuk. I saw it live, I was alive and saw it live when it happened. You weren't even born!

Big fckin deal... ****** basis to make a point.
