      Can't get mad at someone who mentions Hagler beating Leonard up.

            I'm more impressed with what I see with the limited footage of the original Sugar man than Leonard

                Exactly. I had to own a poster because of their hate for Leonard. The poster lied and exaggerated facts, So I posed the question to him.

                Who is greater, Leonard or Hearns. He ran for the hills. It must've been a pride thing, lmao.
                1. You said Leonard won Leonard-Hearns 2. (Leonard himself said that he feels him and Hearns are 1-1)
                2. You said Leonard didn't duck Hearns.
                3. You then said Leonard ducked Hearns for 8 years to fight Hagler whom Leonard also ducked for 5 years until Hagler looked bad against Mugabi (he admitted this)

                They only person you owned was yourself

                Leonard also avoided a fight with Pryor who called him out. Refused a Duran rematch after that lame 2nd fight (until Duran was shot), refused Hagler a rematch after that VERY generous decision and refused Hearns a rematch after the 2nd fight robbery.

                When you really break down his resume it's good but not among the top ATG's. Clever match making and lucky decisions.


                Leonard: I was sitting there with Michael, and I'm watching Hagler get outboxed by a guy who is known as a slugger, John "The Beast" Mugabi. I said, "Michael, I can beat Hagler." He said, "Yeah, Ray, yeah." Everyone thought I was being a smart-ass. But I really saw a sign [in that fight]. I mean, I always felt I could outbox Hagler. If Mugabi can do that, I can do an even better job. That had the most bearing on my decision to go ahead with a Hagler fight. I felt he was at a point that he didn't have that same fire in his body or in his heart. He wasn't the same guy.

                    I never said Leonard beat Hearns in the rematch you lying sack of ****. Pull the post up, lmao. The rest of what you posted is your just trash opinion minus the Leonard commentating on Hagler Mugabi. Where you Google, I was watching.
