    Leonard did study the hagler duran fight Plus all of Marvin's suceeding fights notiing a slippage in skills.He also was careful to negotiate for a 12 round fight were Marvin needed 15 rounds to officially beat duran

        Holmes and Duran were friends so I am sure he was biased

          i have watched the fight many times over. It really is a classic fight and a classic performance from Duran, i feel it is the greatest performance of Duran's career. I alway's see it the same each time i watch it, a razor thin final round win for Hagler.

            Knew what?

            Odds favoring Marvin Hagler over Sugar Ray Leonard in their fight on a Caesars Palace tennis court tonight hovered at 3-1 all last week.

                Duran beating prime Leonard is far more impressive!

                Leonard didn't even really beat Hagler he got a gift decision!!!!!!

                    Because it is anonymous, so the NSB crowd votes are undistinguishable from those of normal people.
