New Disturbing Trend - Sugar Ray Leonard Haters!

[Flomo Tard]

That is not why he waited to make the fight. Hagler was a great champion but wasn't anywhere near a household name. It was business.

It was strictly the detached retina. Be beat Bruce Finch, got the bad news about his retina. Retired. Got the good news. Fought Kevin Howard. Sucked but won. Retired. Then beat Hagler.

Sugar Ray isn't 'Gangsta' enough to be liked.

He was a well spoken gentleman. That doesn't sit well with some fans.

trend?


i've been a SRL hater for decades homey

Yeah, Leonard has always had his detractors/haters for whatever reason. Coming across as a phony, retiring 147 times, the Hagler fight, etc..

A few years ago I was discussing boxing with a co-worker and this other guy who made deliveries at the place. He was older too, probably in his forties, and we were talking about the early 80s era. The guy says "Leonard was a great fighter, but god I hated him!!"
