Hearns? Hagler? Duran? Benitez? SRL!!

Yea, I messed up on the Duran draw, sorry. Good catch! Also. the first Leonard-Hearns fight featured more than SRL refusing to engage. Watch it again. He almost broke Tommy in half with a left hook to the body in the sixth.

If Ray had only pressed on that advantage, he could've had Hearns out in the seventh or eighth rounds.

Maybe so..but Tommy was ALWAYS dangerous and Ray I am sure felt that Tommy wasnt cooked yet. He turned it on when he absolutely had to

Ice Man is absolutely right. Even though I am a Hagler fan and thought he won the fight anyways. Props to Ray Leonard for fighting " the best fight of his life" hands down. Personally, he should have retired afterwards since he didn't give Hagler a rematch...He didn't have any significant matches after that and got stopped by an old Hector Camacho of all peoples. here are my reasons why he gets props:
1) He didn't fight for 3 years at least, no tune-up at all, not even against a mandatory "gimme" (I don't like to use the word "BUM") fight.
2) He was handicapped (Detached retina surgery)
3) He boxed cleanly (he might have ran abit, but it looked good)
4) Hagler was still strong as a bull at age 35.
5) There were no clearcut advantages for Leonard other than the ring, which was about the size of a hockey rink.
6) A real exciting fight for 2 Legends, worth the money, unlike the fights we get today (i.e. Mayweather/De la Hoya)
