    Leonard was the fighter of the 1980s, I do not doubt or deny him that.

    But he thought himself above the sport, he was never prepared to become one of us, he was aloof, he was false (my one word description of him).

    And what is worse is that other fighters have seen his success and copied his out off ring style which has help ruin the sport from its last peak in the 1980s, to arguably, today, where the sport is in as big a crisis as it has been in since the 1880's.
