    Just watched it & really enjoyed it.

    I still prefer Hearns, Hagler & Duran though :tong

    Thought it was really good.

    People have a pop at him, but he's faced and beat every top fighter of his weight classes.

    I guess as he wasn't working class it doesn't match a great story.

    Why did Sky decide to display Jonny Nelson and Adam Smiths name on the screen as the programme started, as if noone knew who neither were.

    Also I was disappointed that we didnt have McCrory on a stool next to Leonard.

    Almost as delusional as the ****s who vote Labour without realising they've turned into the Tories. :blurp

    Great show enjoyed it & nice to see Leonard coming across relaxed & genuine for a change, well as genuine as Leonard can be that is! Still a bit of spin to his version of events but he's entitled to that. He did a real good PR move in highlighting his snake & sneaky qualities & tactics that he employed to garner what were unfair & unsporting advantages especially the private weight stipulations that opponants had to bow down to if they wanted too get some premium paydays. It was a nice well rounded show & Leonard looks to be in a real happy place in his life which is good for the bloke. Great boxer & fighter & it's that 13th round all out assault on Hearns in 1981 when staring into the abyss of certain defeat & somehow summoning up that mind bending do or die attack to snatch victory from the all but certain jaws of defeat that puts him up atop boxings Mt Olympus. Great champion! Hated the **** with a venom! But always respected his fighting guts!
