    Hagler at 15 rds; Jones at 12 rds.

    SRL figured out you just need to win 6 rds, and have one even, to win a 12 rd fight against Hagler,
    assuming you can go the distance.

    Yes, but, that was a slowed down version of Hagler. Had that fight been a few years earlier, no way Leonard wins with the strategy he employed. I assume we are talking about PRIME Hagler in this thread.

    Right! why do so many people when they pick Hagler to lose a match bring up his fight with Leonard at the end of his career? They never mention the Hagler that slaughtered Alan Mintor or Tony Sibson. Leonard would have never fought that Hagler

    "Alan Mintor or Tony Sibson", two boxers many times compared to Roy Jones.

    Don't know what dope your smoking, but to think Jones and Toney would school Hagler, and yet neither defeated anyone near prime Hagler's caliber or any ATG outside a well past prime McCallum makes me guess your taking LS D. When you wake up, apologize. You will be forgiven.
