Worth your time if you have half an hour.

Pat, pat. Hagler doesn't even ****ing look at him.
The only pundit I can recall giving Leonard a chance in this fight was Colin Hart of the Sun. Come to think of it,Hart was also the only one who tipped Muhammad Ali over George Foreman.
This **** still gives me goosebumps..thanx..Leonard got into Haglers head for some unknown reason Hagler did not attack Leonard gave too many early rds away to a back peddling sugar that only fought 45 seconds a round flicking harmless punches while actualy running many times.The fight was an anti climax. I think I, like many waited for the fight to start and it never really did ,& that is the reason Leonard stole the title..
`Five years ago when Ray Leonard was as good as any fighter I ever saw, I thought he`d beat Hagler, today I don`t` -- Larry Merchant (1987)
I had 7-5 for Leonard But we both agree Im guessing..... the word robbery should have never been associated with this fight ?
Is this the same as the legendary nights one Macca? I have it if thats the case, and 11 more Legendary nights in fact.
yup, especailly when hagler was bullshitting for the first 4 rds. if anything, hagler robbed himself.
Trivia Question: Only 1 of the 3 common opponents Leonard and Hagler shared picked Loenard to win. Which one?
Hearns & Geraldo picked Leonard & Duran picked Hagler Im sure but if you are correct & it is only one then I`ll go with Hearns because I HEARD him say it, I only READ that Geraldo said something like `Leonard will win, he is a better boxer & has more class` or words similar.
