Donny Lalonde

donnie lalonde is a good fighter,when he fought leonard you can clearly see the ref was on pro leonard,when leonard got knocked down it was a long count anywhere from 12 to 15 seconds,when lalonde got knocked down the first time,the ref did not even give him a count he walked over and wiped his gloves,and then leonard knocked him out,leonard is a good fighter at welter weight,but i think lalonde would of won that fight with a neutral ref,if lalonde were fighting today not only would he be world champ but he would have the wba,wbc,ibf titles at the same time

Lalonde was an ordinary talent who happened to win a title and make a perfect opponent for Leonard's publicity stunt (winning the 175 lb title at 167 lbs). He wouldn't be competitive with today's top lightheavies like Dawson, Hopkins, etc.

I think youre wrong. I'm not sure how good his chin was, but he definitely had the tools to give both Dawson and Hopkins a good fight. Youre forgetting SRL was naturally a welterweight, so he was way faster than Dawson and Hopkins. They wouldn't have this advantage against Lalonde. And Lalonde hits harder than both.

So you're a Donny Lalonde fan then?

[mrboxer]

yes i am he was a good fighter with a lot of talent

[Benncollinsaad]

Do you think Donny could beat Hopkins and/or Dawson?

i liked donny lalonde, i watched him and hill fight, he seemed like a good guy, i know that doesnt particularly make him a good fighter, but he didnt have to take the leonard fight and lose all that weight, a great and shrewd move by leonard to manipulate his way to five titles, but i guess they offered donny big money, so he couldnt turn it down
