He also fought Duran twice and was one and one. The fight he won, he did exactly what Floyd does today and that is stick and move and counter and outmaneuver your opponents. When he fought Hagler, that fight was long overdue. hagler was not the same Hagler and still SRL only chose to engage with hagler in the last min. with Flurries. Basically he ran and stole rounds at the end.

      Don't get me wrong I love Arturo, he is an exciting fighter,your will always get your money'd worth and he has all the heart in the world, but he has been past his prime for a long time and hasn't beaten an elite fighter in a very long time. Arturo will probably go into the hall of fame but for his heart and the wars that he gave us not because he was an A class fighter, but for his A class heart.

        Floyd is a great fighter and will go into the Hall of Fame. But it's kind of sad, because he has the potential to be better. And could be remembered much more than he is already considered.

        In other words....there are still fights out there for Mayweather. As a fan of boxing, it would help our sport if he matched up against them.

            If you were actually aware of the above, your post is just a biased selection of the relevant facts.
            The Judah vs. Mayweather fight lost it's luster after the loss to Baldomir. Judah always had A class talent but never had the mental toughness to do anything with it. Everytome he fought elite opposition he would melt down. Judah has a glass jaw and is not an A class opposition, he has all the tools but without the mental toughness that doesn't mean ****.

              what did I Say that was wrong, Oscar didn't beat Mosley or hopkins or tito and some would say he didn't beat Sweet Pea. Alltime greats atleast go 1 for 1 with the people they figth. SRL can be considered an all time great, but he did fight Hagler at an opportune time and stole the fight with flurries in the last mins. of every round. Go Back and watch the fight!

                Regardless of what anybody says, Oscar kicked the **** out of Tito. He was just robbed because of the way he fought the final few rounds. I don't think you could find a fan on the planet who saw that fight in it's entirety and didn't believe that Oscar not only won, but did so decisively.

                And I'm actually with you on the Hagler winning the Leonard fight comment, Hagler is the greatest middleweight champion of all time and I'll murder anybody who disputes otherwise, lol.

                    I didn't say i feel like he didn't win. He really won that fight, boxed his ass off for 7 rounds and then literally got on his bicycle. He didn't bob and weave and make him miss. he back pedaled for 5 rounds, now all-time greats really don't do that. I'm glad u agree with Hagler-Leonard, and notice there never was a rematch. I love Leonard, he and mayweather are one and the same, their styles are very much alike, SRL had more power but Floyd has better defense and better control of the ring I think, but other than that they are 1 and the same. with that said, I can't say he beat Hagler.
