Words like, "duck" and "robbery" are used way toooooo much by the causal fan. Shame!
While we're at it, I wish the casual fan would research the technique, footwork and iq required for both slick fighting and banging.....Both require iq, footwork and technique....get so tired of hearing he just runs and hes just a dumb banger....complete nonsense...they would all make u run with a superior iq in all aspectsLast edited by pvj; 08-21-2016, 01:12 PM.

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

People actually talk about Hagler's bodywork while writing off Ray's lethal combo's that stood Hagler up and even backed him up once or twice pitty pat punches..... Ray won at every facet of boxing that night.
It's a shame that people like those in this thread will let preferences ruin such a display of greatness.

Hagler got clearly outboxed and outsmarted.
He fell way behind in scoring and it was just to late. Boxinh is hit and dont get hit.he didnt really touch leonard in the first half..
He should of had the hearns mentality and went for broke right away as a southpaw.
Ray hadnt fought in years.
No tune ups, straight for monster and won

I had Ray barely winning. Enough split opinions on here that it was very close but not a robbery. I just will never understand why Haglar didn't come out like a rabid animal. I don't see how Ray would have survived an onslaught like Hearns received (I do realize Hearns tried going toe to toe with Haglar). I don't care what people (mostly people who missed the great 80's guys) say that this was s garbage fight. It was a great fight and Ray showed what an absolute all time great he was. Nobody had more heart than SRL.
