    My favourite bit is, "i'll take this time to thank Marvin Hagler."

    Pat, pat.

    Hagler doesn't even ****ing look at him.

    Nice build up, reminds you what an uphill task this was for Leonard.

    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..

    I had 7-5 for Leonard

    But we both agree Im guessing..... the word robbery should have never been associated with this fight ?

    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.
