Hagler got robbed

[TheBoxingXpert]

How can anyone think that Sugar Ray Leonard won that fight? Hagler won at the very least half of the rounds!

[No Tomorrow]

Sugar Ray Leonard 6-4-2 (116-114) was my score.

Hagler choosing to come out in an orthodox stance for the first four rounds was in my opinion a big reason why he lost that fight.

[Willy Wanker]

Hagler won it 7-5.

Leonard was good at stealing rounds and getting the crowd excited but Hagler outworked him most of the fight. Fight was still very close. Just thought Hagler did enough to win.

They should have had a rematch.

[Boxing56]

Leonard clearly won.

Hagler has no one to blame but himself. He pretty much handed Leonard the fight on a silver platter by trying to outbox Ray and he clearly lost the first 4 rounds.

I never understood why people considered this a robbery.

I think it's criminal that Hagler lost this fight. He simply deserved to win.

boxing is known for geting it wrong in big fights: leonard-hagler, pac-floyd, trinidad-hoya, whitaker-chavez, etc...it wouldn't be boxing if the right person won.

That absurdly wide scorecard for Leonard still pisses me off so much. That judge was either incompetent or corrupt.

That is one of those boxing myths that I hate. He didn't "clearly" lose the first 4 rounds. It's been a while since I've seen the fight, but I know that at least one of those rounds was Hagler's.

It's like the people who say Castillo clearly gave away the first 5 rounds or whatever to Mayweather.

[Elroy The Great]

as the saying goes, srl pitty patted the title away from hagler.
