Damn shame....MIKE TRAINER GOT THE LAST LAUGH!
With Duran somewhere over 200 lbs., this Leonard’s guy Mike Trainer learned after sending a spy to Panama to verify the weighty rumors, Trainer offered Duran $8 million, eclipsing the $1.5 million he made beating Leonard in June. It was now late in September 1980 and Trainer told Duran’s people that if they wanted the $8 million, he had to fight Leonard on November 25th. With around seven weeks to train, Duran shed the weight but never really got in fighting shape. As a result of this, and Duran’s people not reading the contract Trainer had prepared, the ring side was at least 22 by 22 feet, some say 24 feet. It looked more like somebody’s backyard, not a boxing ring as Leonard danced and dazzled Duran for the most part.Comment

An old pernell took shots from oscar and Tito.. I think he would be able to stay upright vs duranLeonard was a 5'10 1/2 full fledged welterweight, one of the best ever. Yeah he traded with Duran. Whitaker couldnt hold SRL's jockstrap at WW.
Nobody is denying Pea has skills, but once Duran lands its over. Pea is a lightweight and not even big in that weight class.Comment
