    He did get some gifts....but that doesn't change his greatness.
    I can see how it would make you guys despise him....but the man has a great overall body of work.

        Yes Laporte, Whitaker, M. Taylor & Randal. That is 4 fights he didn't win.

          watch the Pernell Whitaker
          fight. if that decision dont
          piss you off then you dont
          beleive in justice.

            I think they were both battle tested great warriors that's why people love them. Anyways that Whitaker fight was one of biggest robbery. LaPorte and Randall too.

              You know what Leonard did to Duran in the rematch?

              He gave the match to Duran in SHORT NOTICE, they offered a amount of money that was SO GREAT, that he couldn't have refused...that's why Duran looked slow and fat...

              Leonard is a evil man in this business..

                Some say he got a gift stoppage against Meldrick Taylor by Richard Steele one of the worst refs.

                  The Future you have nothing to worry about in Juarez. Just dont fight him in his home time (Remember Rahim fight?).

                      The Laporte fight wasn't a "robbery". It was an even bout.

                      As for the Taylor fight...it was as great a fight as I've ever seen. Two awesome guys at their best.
                      Even as a Chavez fan.....I understood why Steele stopped it, but still thought he should have let it continue.

                      Whitaker....yeah, that was a disgrace.
                      BUT....tell me how that changes what Chavez did throughout his career ?
                      Ali got several bad decisions, late in his career....does that change his greatness ?
