    My bad, :good

    Hagler for me. Tyson was abeast, Hearns, JCC, Holmes, Spinks etc.... a good time in boxing.

    Maybe not in terms of fighting big names, but the kid was the most feared fighter in boxing at the time of incarceration, and destined to become champion...and a brutally dominating one at that.

    He had not gone to jail, he probably would of not had that streak in him, that meant he had an amazing potential as a boxer, but sadly, a massive social flaw, that made him very dangerous outside the ring as well.

    as I said before {they where both faded , the fact is leonard fought hagler at middleweight and won a close decision , get over it, it was an amazing upset and peformance, no one predicted that he would win, hagler was the favourite }


    and Hagler is honestly one of my farvourite fighters ever so don't think i'm being biased because I'm geniunly not.

    Sean, tell the truth. You've only seen Hagler in two fights: Hearns and Leonard

    Yeah? That's great because I'm a Hagler fan too. Why do you think Ray called him out so late? I think he was scared of Marvin and that marv would have broken his skinny body in half in no time flat. To be honest, I think marv has seen better opponents than Ray. Roldan, Hearns, Sibbo, pretty much all of them.

    ray demonstrated a lot of skill but only when the pace slowed down enough for him otherwise if he ran into a terry Norris type opponent, things go wrong for him. His comeback and excuses for retirements are all fake

    One last question: Are you a girl or do you just enjoy wearing lipstick?

    I am obviously mocking you. Your hatred for Leonard clouds your judgment. It's a shame, you're an intelligent poster otherwise.

    Bjork. The singer.

    P.S Personally, I think it's a little bit childish to hate on a Professional Prizefighter.

    the leonard that fought hagler would of had problems with the fighter`s rooster mentioned as he was not in his prime and not a natural middleweight anyway. and hagler himself would of had problems with those fighter`s had he fought any of them in the almost shot state he was at the night he fought leonard.so in terms of them being better than leonard as middleweights there is an arguement for it at least
