leanords thoughts on duran

[shortright]

Hagler was no more past his best than SRL was? When you get close matches that go to the score cards you are going to have controversy. Hagler could have been years younger but if it goes to the scorecards it depends how the judges see the fight.
Hagler was a great middleweight. So was Monzon. So is Hopkins. Take your pick of who you think is the greatest.

i agree with you hagler was past it but so was leanord, although i think hagler more so

But its swings and roundabouts. SRL fans will say SRL was more past his best than Hagler. Nothing can be proved. Hagler before fighting Leanord wasnt seen as past his best as far as i know. SRL had come off a layoff.
Hagler in the opininons of the refs lost. Hagler lost to a great welterweight so may be hagler aint as good as people as say. Even though he was great. Maybe there is a case for their being better middleweights than Hagler.

its sad that haglers legacy is somewhat tarnished, cause in my opinon it would of meant much more in there primes, they it did

Some of you mention that Hagler was out of his prime/ was old but forgot to mention Leanord came out of retirement and fought after 3 years of his retirement and had 2 fights in 7 years while Hagler was active. Leanord was'nt in his prime either.

its true but hagler was worse in my mind, i was watching sportscentury marvin hagler and the guy who used to run the vegas state athletic commison said that leanord was yelling to hagler in the locker room your a ****en old man you a ****en old man your not winning this fight, plus hagler was so danm slow, i recently watched hagler duran and hagler leranord and he was ten times slower in 87 when he fought leanord then in 83 when he fought duran i was actually kind of shocked how slow he was

Leonard/Duran was one of the mosty purely exciting fights I've ever enjoyed.

The crowd was fanatical about Duran.

Leonard showed as much athleticism- trying to keep up with Duran's onslaught as any fighter, ever. Leonard was flurrying with LIFE and DEATH urgency.

Duran was so vicious that night. His counterpunching was ridiculous.

That was two superheroes at war! That fight transcended normal levels.

EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
