You want a rematch for a REMATCH? You noted that you wanted the Leonard-Hearns 2 to be rematched! And you wanted that they be at their prime when they meet for the third time?!Originally posted by BodysnatcherFan
Leonard first met Hearns on Sept 16,1981 at the Ceasars Palace; then they met again nearly 8 years later at the same venue (June 6, 1989). The latter was Leonard-Hearns 2. Both were 8 years older ( and cannot be at their prime) than they first met! And you wanted a REMATCH of that second meeting?! You indicated, a rematch of Leonard-Hearns 2!!!! And demanded that they be at their prime!!!
I don't get it!

No you simply didnt read the post properly. The title of thread is "rematches that should have happened". I said Hagler-Hearns 2, and Leonard-Hearns 2 while both at primes. These are rematches that never happened. A v B 2 IS A REMATCH. If i had said what you think I would have had to say "A rematch of Leonard-Hearns 2", so therefore no you havent caught me out, and yes you are a smart-ass. Correction: wannabee smartass.Originally posted by grayfistYou want a rematch for a REMATCH? You noted that you wanted the Leonard-Hearns 2 to be rematched!

As pointed out earlier, Hearns and Leonard met twice. The first, in Septeember 16,1981 in what THE RING later proclaimed FIGHT OF THE YEAR. Leonard took that one via TKO 14. That was for the WBC/WBA welterweight titles.Originally posted by BodysnatcherFan
The second fight, and thus, THE REMATCH, happened in June 12, 1989, this time for the WBC & WBO Super Middle titles. It was declared a draw, although Leonard fell twice: once in the 3rd and again in the 11th.
The title of the thread, as you pointed out, is "Rematches that should have happened" The Hearns-Leonard REMATCH happened! So it cannot stay in the realm of SHOULD HAVE...because it did!
If you wanted a third encounter, that is to say, you wanted a REMATCH OF A REMATCH, it's not exactly anything new. There have been several trilogies (and more). That's why I asked if you were asking for a rematch of a rematch? That while noting that the second fight took place some 8 years after the first, thus they could not have been in their prime.
As for Hearns-Hagler, they never met again. That's why I didn't comment on that. You could put it up as one you'd like to see a rematch of. It's your prerogative. But the way the first one ended (in the 3RD) could very well be the same in a rematch, should there have been one. If you want to watch that too, that's your choice.
So, you see, I may neither be such a "smartass" nor "wannabesmartass", after all, am I?
