Fighter of the Decade (1980s)-redone

[The Noose]

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,

Hagler - Leonard is one of those fights that has such different opinions.

Ive always thought Leonard won it by quite sum margin.

I thought his movement (not running) was great, making Hagler miss, and look slow. Leonard fought in bursts but made the punches count, making them hard and throwing great combos.

Hagler put on pressure but couldnt make it count.

Just my opinion of corse, but Leonard was class.

I went with Tyson. I'm not going by opposition, I was looking at how much they dominated. I know you can't tell me that Sugar Ray Leonard dominated his opponents more than Tyson did. I know all the "Tyson had the weaker opponents" comments are going to come in, but hey a pro is a pro, and Tyson dominated all his opponents out-powering them.*


*on a side note Leonard did dominate by out-boxing his opposition, I will give him that.

That is so ridiculus. It's like comparing orange with apples. Leonard beat more HALL OF FAMERS in their PRIME. Tyson beat 2 hall of famer way past their prime or buffed up lower class boxers. You grade fighters by how bad they dominated some nobodies? I hope you realize now how much this argument doesn't make sence.

Now talk about a constuctive argument. Tyson came in when the HW division was searching itself. He was fresh air thats all. that smiley makes me think you were half serious anyway...

well yeah and no with the happy face. But tyson was talked about alot more then leonard cause he came in and won the title in like a year and he was jus 20yrs. comin in the game at 18yrs. and all the 1st.round kos and how brutal they were. Plus how fast he ****** up the hw division. took leonard alot longer to do that

[Fight_Nightx]

yeah it ''took'' longer for Leonard but he achived incredibly more and on a longer basis. Knocking light heavies or past their prime legends is no great feat my friend. HW was a sick division, not as bad as today but it WAS in a sad state.

Heavyweights usually get more attention anyway. Not these days unfortunately.

Exactly. If Tyson were a lightweight he wouldn't even be on the list.
