No, my use of the term was fine. But hey, when you have no valid response.....
And this negates the fact that Hagler was a heavy favourite and expected to destroy Leonard how, exactly? Do you actually know anything about that era?Last edited by Ham Porter; 11-04-2013, 02:56 AM.Comment

Larry has NEVER debated with the severity that I have. You would have beaten him in a debate by now. Your not going to beat me because Im real and I dont let anyone get over on me without saying something real. Whether you want to admit it or not, SRL at his BEST is not even as dominant as Floyd at his WORSE. Floyd would possible STOP this guy. Accept it and move along.
This video doesnt tell you anything that you didnt already know prior. With or without this video you already know that its NO WAY SRL would beat Mayweather. But watch and enjoy anyways my lil dawg, No beef!

Leonards a bad fight for Floyd imo. You have a guy who is naturally bigger, more powerful, just as fast and as great an offensive fighter as Floyd is a defensive fighter. He would probably go the distance, but its hard to envision him being able to offensively make enough of a mark to get the decision. Leonard would be all over him constantly jabbing, coming from angles, flurrying, throwing power shots, Floyd would just get outworked and outfought.Comment

You won't another fighter of the last fifty years who fought a tougher level of competition - in succession - like Leonard did from 1978-1981, so the notion that he cherry-picked throughout his career is pure fallacy. The argument that he avoided Hagler carries about as much weight as the argument that Hagler avoided Michael Spinks.
Smh, I have to educate these pseudo-intellectuals.
The fact that it was Hagler's last fight, regardless of who was expected to win by the majority of fans, is very telling of what stage Hagler was in in his career. Just like the majority of fans believed DLH had the advantage versus Pacquiao, but I was one of the few who quickly said DLH would lose or might even get knocked out the moment he took off his robe and his body looked like a zombie, yet people keep swinging that premise around to make the beat down more impressive than it was. I wasn't shocked, the fact most of everyone else was is just testament to how much lack of credibility most people actually have when it comes to analyzing matchups based on available data. If YOU were shocked, then you fall in the same category.Comment

If you want to play that game, let's look at Floyd having even more trouble with Ausgustus, Corley, Judah and that was in his prime as champion.
If Corley stunned him, Leonard knocks him clean out. If Ausgustus tagged him as much as he did and gave him his toughest fight, Leonard dominates.
Etc etc.Comment
