    No need to be disrespectful to your life coach especially when he's coaching you for free and you will be a better person at the end. Facts, Mark, don't care about your feelings. That's a life lesson and a darn good one.

    Ah yes, Sugar Ray Leonard and his "average" boxing record.

    It was a close fight. I think Hagler would have won had he just fought southpaw the whole time. But let it go.

    At the end of the day it was a hotly contested decision.

    My first watch I had it for Leonard, my most recent I had it a draw I believe. I guess if it wasn't for close decisions what would we argue about on these boards?

    There were like seventy five "experts" who opined on the winner and they were split almost evenly. This debate is become absurd. Rendering a decision in boxing can't be reduced to a mathematical certainty.

    that is right, but the way Leonard fought, should Hagler not have kept his title? I mean Hagler was the aggressor throughout the fight and Leonard did not really take away the title from the champ. I have come to the conclusion a draw would have been more fair result

    If you want a debate, then we can debate.

    But if it’s more drivel like the above, then don’t bother wasting my time.

    Official scores matter to you if they’re FOR your argument, but they’re of no relevance to you at all, if they’re AGAINST your argument.

    Brilliant.

    You are a JOKE.

    The FACT is:

    Leonard won.

    Otherwise, we’ll say that Floyd didn’t beat Castillo.

    You're encouraging another dozen pages of our friend's aberrant nonsense.

    He doesn’t need any encouragement.

    again you deceive yourself with a self made fantasy

    You cannot be my life coach since I have no need for one (did I ask?) nor did I appoint you. Your words are meaningless as the title of your thread

    the fact is, Leonard was outpointed. That is an established fact and because this is so, Leonard 's record falls to 35 - 4 - 1

    cheer up though; Leonard only lost to the best!

    To paraphrase Shakespeare the gentleman doth protest too much, me thinks. We all know you copied, pasted, and printed all the wisdom I shared with you. I'm glad I have been able to help because as I have repeatedly said I'm a kind and empathetic person.
