sugar ray leonard, welched on the rematch, with marvelous marvin hagler...yes, marvelous marvin, was disgusted with the decision in the first fight (yeah that 118-110 scorecard was bogus)...
there was a rematch clause in place, and marvelous marvin, chased sugar ray for a year...there is television footage of marvelous marvin, trying to get sugar ray to honor the agreement, to which sugar ray announced another retirement..
the minute marvelous marvin, decided to retire for good, without being able to avenge the loss, sugar ray leonard, came out of retirement, to fight donny lalonde, for the 168/175 lb titles...
marvelous marvin's points loss to sugar ray, remains the only loss on his record, that was unavenged...

The HBO:LN remark was just because it's notoriously inaccurate and is a bad reference in general.
