Just on the subject of round 9, Leonard did fight like an absolute tiger to get through the round, and he did land some nice shots. However, he...
Extremely close, controversial fight. Just a couple of points though. "Leonard outlanded Hagler significantly"? The stats show that is simply not...
I'd like to see some of his fights on film. Good enough to give a young Hagler two close fights. The only footage I've seem of him was getting...
Hagler's going down in this one, JT. He might be able to run for a few rounds but the Macho Man will get him. No way Hagler stands up to Camacho...

Hamsho was a legit middle, who also would have KO'd Mayorga.

I think you have to keep in mind, though, that Hagler, being a southpaw and pretty defensively talented, didn't actually get hit with jabs that...
Hearns at both weights, early rounds. Peak Hearns was much more adept at landing the big bomb without taking one back.

Leonard was, I guess, at his peak of the Hearns fight. Hagler was already slipping by the time of his fight with Hearns, in my view. However,...
Correct. In years to come we may see the effects. I wonder what would happen to the sport if there is a fatality. Combine how brutal it appears...
