Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[Pacdbest]

Sugar Ray Leonard ducked Hagler?

There's me thinking he retired with a detached retina 2 weight classes below Hagler.

You weren't born yet during those time!!! This what's Floyd's doing right now!! Ducking as much as u can!!! At least SRL ducked a Legend Middleweight for years!!

Floyd's ducking a Former Flyweight?? WTF Floyd??? You're bigger than Pac!!! U said it's easy fight!! It's the biggest Money fight for 3 years now!! Why still DUCK????

Are you guys for real?

Genuinely interested......

Hagler had his chance..... He lost to a one eyed part time blown up WW.... No rematch needed

If Hagler didn't play around the first 3 or 4 rds results and history might have been different.....

About 50% of the people that watched it felt diferently about who won~

I don't really talk about ducking because most people throw the word around to loosely so it lacks meaning, but if there was ever 1 fight that really deserved a rematch in boxing history it is that one~


Think whatever you want about it, some Leonard fans can live with that poor look from him, some wish he would have ran it back and ended a debate that still goes on to this day.

Mayweather moving up to fight Hopkins at 160 would have been this generations Leonard-Hagler.

Seems like a good reference point for this upcoming fight. Obviously not exactly alike, since no one has Hagler's chin, but it seems like the matchup is reminiscent of Leonard and Hagler. Thoughts?

Is there a stronger word than no?

[them_apples]

those two fights are not similar at all. Cotto's not nearly as good as Hagler and floyd is much better than leonard

thats hilarious. Cotto is definitely inferior to Hagler, but Floyd is at BEST equal to SRL.

I wouldn't call it a duck because of the weight classes, but there was an article on ESPN either this year or last where they had quotes from Leonard, Hagler, their trainers, journalists, all kinds of people about the fight, and Leonard talked about how there were lots of people expecting him to announce a fight with Hagler at the press conference for his first retirement. He claimed he was high and when he got out there he wasn't sure what he was going to say. He had another quote where he watched the Hagler-Mugabi fight I believe, and told his people to try and make the fight with Hagler afterwards.

Found it, pretty interesting read for those who haven't seen it.
