    Hagler-Leonard - it'll never stop being debated and it's definitely in the eye of the beholder as to who you think won.

    Most people think Hearns deserved the win over Leonard and Leonard himself even admitted he lost.

    Hagler - RL could have gone either way.I thought Hearns edged the RL II, it would close but a clear win

    For me SRL and Hearns both won competitive fights.

    Leonard did beat hagler CLEARLY. Debating and arguing that hagler won is stupid, ray outworked him clearly he fought very smart using footwork and even when they traded leonard looked better because his speed

    Very little in it for me. As I recall I had Leonard winning with about a point and Hearns winning with about a point.

    Credit to Leonard for saying that he really lost the fight. And I think Ali has said the same for Norton III, which I also think was a very close fight. It's very rare to hear that from fighters.

    In most cases there's a reason for fights being close on the judges' cards.
