i have leonard 115-113 up

There was no way that Leonard deserved the decision, Hagler was the better and still is better than Leonard, don't get me wrond, Leonard was a brilliant fighter but he didn't desreve the decision, Hagler was winning the fight in nearly every round.

Just so you know... you spelt your hero's name wrong in your sig.

"Hagler".. not "Haglar".

Oh, and Leonard won the fight.

I remember watching this and thinking that Leonard was the fastest most skilled fighter I had ever seen, I had seen Hagler live when he beat Minter and thought the guy was a monster but he seemed slower against the dazzling Leonard.

I do believe that Leonard edged the fight but I wish they had done it again becuase it was never settled for me, Hagler for me was still the greater fighter, Leonard had a great career but I always felt he held back and could have done so much more!

i thought lenord won, but that fight didnt mean much hagler was way past his prime and flat outslow, plus the ringsize was a joke, ray could of fought prime hagler but decieded agianst it

I have the fight, and have watched it numerous times.

I scored it 115-113 Leonard.

I think he dictated the fight.

what fight were you watching? Hagler didn't hide he came to fight, while your leonard run like a little girl.

[aerorider69]

shortright, did you see the fight or you just guessing.. Past his prime?? Hagler retired because your sissy leonard would not give him a rematch. I saw the fight and let me tell you something, todays fighter are gives rematch, like DeLahoya, Hopkins, Mosley, Ali, Pacquio, Foreman, Holmes, ie.. Do I considered Leonard a great fighter, not at all. Hagler fought everybody out there..

[aerorider69]

Sir,

I so agree with you! I saw it the same as you! Broke myheart, after that fight I didn't watch another for awhile. It's about $$$ ..

[aerorider69]

I thought boxing was based on defense and offense.. Also, I thought you have to beat the champ by desicive scores. leornard did not come close to this requirement. He run, run, run...Leonard back then is created by the old network of NBC's, HBO"s and what can bring more money to boxing. Hagler was the champ, he waited for leonard to fight but sugar did the hide my face dopey and hold, then run! So on later round Hagler started to hunt leonard since he was not going to fight. What a nightmare after the desicion, I thought it was close in my mind, I had Hagler 115-113 but that night I had the feeling the judges were something diffrent... The worse in my mind that night was a draw..

There is no rule that says you have to beat the champ by a decisive margin.

That is a myth, an old "unwritten" rule that we see broken frequently in modern times.
