Hagler still had not gotten over the fact that Leonard fought the perfect fight and beat him. Marvin still had the attitude, "Anybody who stands and trades with me is a real fighter, anybody who doesn't is a runner and a coward".
works well on shot fighters on the way out not so well on young fighters on the way up (Norris, Nunn)
Because he is a sore loser in a violent competitive sport? You can still enjoy a fighter without liking them, Monzon is one of my favourite fighters for one example.
Worked perfectly on a robotic stalker, by a fighter who had not fought in three years, and by a fighter who was knocked on his arse by a clubfighter three years before. Hagler had to hang his head in shame for that one.
getting decisioned by a lesser fighter who had been off 3 years, knocked on his arse by a clubfighter and knocked out in sparring only strengthens the claim he was gone by then Points wise, Marvin was the actual winner, and by a wide margin the proof: This content is protected Now that the argument of who won has been settled, we should never again see the words "Leonard beat Duran, Benitez, Hearns, Hagler" If you dont believe it, why should I?
^ some will try to argue "Leonard had the better ring generalship" but generalship does not earn you points! Leonard lost and we should never gain see or hear the words "Leonard beat Duran, Benitez, Hearns, Hagler" Not even the staunchest Leonard fans can lie their way out of this one with a straight face!
15 minutes of highlights of a 36 minute fight (Without the breaks added ) from a slanted personal perspective demonstrates only your bias. The proof of your bias is the fact you claim Leonard loss to Benitez, Duran and Hearns. The records and unbias views would indicate he went 5-1 and 1 against. Stop the madness and hate Red......
first of all, I said no such thing. I was simply getting at that you can no longer include Hagler among Leonard's victims You just misinterpreted it wrong, just as you scored the fight wrong! the only thing that was edited out were the introduction, waiting for the decision, the announcement of the decision, between rounds, moments of inactivity which, are all irrelevant to the scoring itself. FOOL! You should tell me why you consider it HATE to give PROOF of which man outscored the other? Are Lawyers considered haters when they gather evidence against false claims??? after all, if YOU had proof otherwise, would you not put it up to silence me? I don't just LIE in an effort to make MY man look better! I PROVE it!! after 35 years of thinking you were right, now goes up in smoke, I'd imagine would be hard for the other side to accept not to mention your bragging rights are all gone! Not only did Marvin score with heavier shots, he scored MORE of them!
Duran beat Leonard then Ray clearly won the rematch, he stopped Benitez who was also cut for a number of rounds, he also stopped Hearns after being out-boxed despite it being a controversial stoppage, he didn`t win any of those fights specifically with ring genralship, you could say he beat Marvin with ring genralship but I happen to think he just ran and stole that fight.
