[czars_salad]

You may not like Leonard but he IS the best boxer of the 80s.

he runs like ****

[Round 1]

Leonard was awesome you all, he talked the talk and walked the walk.

If he was only running around, how did he win his fights? Judges were biased for him his whole career? Spare me of the ****** mindless replys thx.

Using your legs to move in and out of an attack range isn't running, it's boxing.

Hager gave away the 1st four rounds agaisnt Leonard.

115-113 Leonard was a very reasonable score, and when you consider he was moving up in weight and coming off three years inactivity, it's all the more impressive.

You should watch the fight yourself cuz yes, Leonard beat Halger fair and square. Pertonellis just thought it would b a big name title defence but Dundee and Leonard outplayed them so bad. And if Leonard was running so much, how come the 9th round had more punches thrown than round 1 of hagler vs hearns?

hagler's wins were more convincing than that of leonard's. and to think hagler is not the biggest of his division. he ruled middleweight for a decade... i watched his fight with leonard and leonard would just own the last 30 sec. hagler was the workhorse of that fight. leonard was just an impressionist

That's your opinion, but you can't deny Hagler gave away the 1st four rounds. That means you'd have to score 7 of the last 8 rounds for Hagler to have him winning.

Not outrageous, but Leonard fought a very smart fight that night, and edged it on the cards in a lot of people's opinion.

Once again, that was his 1st fight at Middleweight, and coming off 3 years inactivity due to what was considered a career ending eye injury.

It was a gutsy and brave showing from Ray.

im not trying to take away from leonard, but 115-113 is also fair for hagler or a draw, it was a close fight, hagler seemed to show a bit to much respect and didnt fight smart agaisnt duran or leonard, but he did and thats that

but leonard is the fighter of the 80s,

[czars_salad]

as of this moment... it's a toss-between tyson and leonard
