      Well at least that is what I thought... But, now I know better... It was not a risk... He cherry picked Hagler... It was on the same level of Floyd-JMM...
      I think you are both right in the sense that Leonard fighting Hagler was not cherry picking to me but Leonard DID wait until he saw vulnerabilities in Hagler before he took the fight. This was his own admission. After Hagler fought and won a war with John" the beast" Mugabi, Leonard saw that Hagler's reflexes had slowed considerably and he told him manager Mike Trainer, "Make the fight. I can beat him". Leonard said this himself and he was very intelligent in the sense that he could see holes in a fighter's game and he knew how to exploit them. I think Leonard waited for this in Hagler. With that said, I take nothing away from Leonard's fight with Hagler because coming back after 3 years at 160 to fight the Middleweight Kingpin was still amazing for me. I saw that fight when I was 9 years old on PPV and can still hear the screaming from all of the adults pulling for Sugar Ray lol.

          His post had nothing to do with Shane or Floyd for that matter. I know you never heard of any of the guys he mentioned. Just go back to Pacland.

            This is a long time ago before the Cotto fight. Roach was trying to see if pac can handle WW. If they will make that request to Mosley now, I would hate them for it. Because Pac showed he can handle elite WW's now. Now, wait until then before you say that he wants Morales at 130 instead of 135.
