    Its too far for me to travel but my question would be:
    What was your most satisfying victory?
    a)Hearns I
    b)Duran II; or
    c)Hagler

    Or a more controversial:

    Why, after Angelo Dundee trained, developed and honed your boxing skills, did you not stand up for him when your business backers ,in your presence, forced him to sign a new contract reducing his commission?

    :lol::lol:

    you volunteering Gaz?

    i warn you im a messy eater

    sealed the deal Jeff :lol:

    anyway might aswell get my question in.

    right you need to delver this exactly like i type it

    'Right Ray cut the bull **** when you fought Duran the first time what was the tactics? You were the naturally bigger, stronger faster guy. You wanted to back him up didnt you? that was your plan, it makes sense. Dont give me the bull **** about you fighting the wrong fight.'

    if he says he got drawn into a fight say

    'But ray come on what you hiding nothing to be ashamed of, id probably say it would be better if it was your tacitcs'

    " Ray, do you still **** yaself laughing seeing Tommys face when Hagler chased him round the ring ? "

    I would like to know what he thinks of the current fighters who operate at the weights he fought at himself. I would ask him "Who in your prime would you most like to test yourself against today?" and also "Who would you least like to face?"

    I'd like to have gone to this.... thought it was the weekend after the Froch fight, not before.

    At Old Trafford on Saturday.... watch the mighty Leeds claim our 3rd successive Super League crown.

    Aye, who would give you nightmares stylewise ?

    Mr Leonard, what would you do differently now in regards to fight preperation and training that you think has a considerable difference in todays competition ?

    If you were to begin your career now, do you feel todays climate is harder or easier on a fighter, regarding fighters rights, the variety of promoters, the newer weights etc etc

    I remember reading that when winding up your camp before a big fight you would then run on your own rather than with others and go through the whole fight with your opponent in your head, many times.

    How much would you say you changed gameplan to suit there style in fight, compared to the mental prep beforehand ? Even in preperation were you always ad******g and seeing possible problems arising....or was the thought process purely based upon what YOU were going to do ?

    Would you consider your gold medal far more satisfying than any of your Pro wins, considering who your opponent was in the final and how you dismantled him ?


    What do you think of ESB Boxing Mr Leonard ? Do you think in a catchweight fight that your speed and skills even in your prime would be enough to stay out of Charlie Zelenoffs Hearns-like range ?


    Just ideas......

    Ray leonard

    whos the best boxer?

    do you think Hagler could have got the decision against you?

    Obviously you had some hard times after the retirement after Finch, was these problems because of not boxing, having time and money on your hands and perhaps missing the way of life and all that?

    any advice for young boxers?

    you ditn come from a poor background, do you think thsi hindered you in anyway as some people would say you didnt have the same hunger as others?

    Barcelona this wknd so cant make it,but if anyone fancys swapin a ticket and train fare for 3 days in Barca with my wife?....Oh and i'de need digs.
    Would love to ask him why the **** he came back for the Camacho fight??? I hated that ****. In my opinion you should've retired after Hagler. The Lalonde and 2 reruns were all farces imo. And i was close to tears durin the Norris twating......love you Ray

    I thought he only turned pro cause he was skint and didnt get no big money contracts after winning gold ?

    " What do you think of these fighters getting 1 MILLION buck signing on fees etc....surely it can **** with there will and desire, no ? "
