    Hagler was certainly past his best but I'd hardly call him shot. Leonard was also past his prime.

    'No, I was saying Basilio wasn't on Hagler's level as a middleweight."

    Basilio was the Welterweight Champ, when he fought and beat SRR in a war.

    Carmen Basilio doesn't beat Marvin Hagler ... not even the Hagler Leonard faced.

    Wasn't Longhhorn saying Basilio's win over Robinson was better than SRL's over Hagler?

    Hagler was war torn and shot and Leonard knew it which is why he finally gave him the fight. These are Leonard's words

    Emile Griffith (WW champ) moved up and took MW champ DTiger's title (plus Henry Armstrong WW Champ drew with Ceferino Garcia the NYSAC MW Champion, in a fight most say Armstrong won)
