    Yeah, great to watch but they are written from an angle.

    How did you score Leonard/Hagler, Gaz?

    Every round to Leonard wasn't it Gaz? ;-)

    I had Leonard winning 7-5 btw. Not the Petronelli brothers finest hour that fight.

    Nope, Marv' looked plodding most of the time, with no real tactical shifts (other than changing to southpaw, which as you told me is due to Leonards mind games) and Leonard won it, I think I had it 116-112.

    I'm not a massive Leonard fan, but you can't help but admire him. What a fighter, truly one of the Greats.

    Yep, 7-5 is probabily being generous to Hagler, no problem with 8-4. Criminal mistake to think he could outbox Leonard.

    How can you not be a massive fan of Ray Leonard, mate?

    I love watching him fight, don't get me wrong!!!

    I just think he's a nobhead.

    As always, don't allow that to get in the way when evaluating his ability :good

    I am of course, a big Hagler fan :yep

    Lol. Should have guessed it...You Hagler fans always have a chip on your shoulder.

    Leonard is far from being a 'knobhead' btw. :good

    Why's what, mate?

    Wondering what would make you say Leonard is a 'knobhead'?

    Just his attitude, and his Wife beating.

    He was a bad ass, don't get me wrong. But on the gear he was apparently quite a vile bloke.

    Don't worry, I hold Robinson in the same regard. And I think Lamotta is scum

    As I say, I never allow that to get in the way of watching/enjoying fights. Only when it comes to choosing 'favourites' based on ability/style AND persona :good
