I shouldn't even have to say anything else. When you end a title fight like this, you're a bad man. End of. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_4IfSckVsw[/ame]
:good:good:happy one my fav of all time. Talked with him many times as well. Great guy out of the ring also.
First fight I ever saw was Hagler/Leonard on HBO back in late eighties. Leonard still my favorite of all time.

Got the fight on tape, brutal KO. This was his last fight before losing to Duran, amazing to think Duran pulled out that win when you look at Leonard`s form going into this bout.
He might have him on defence but everything else more or less goes to Leonard... thats not a knock on Mayweather who for me is the best since Chavez/Whitaker but Leonard is simply an elite top tier boxer up there with any fighter in history in terms of ability with a record of who`s who of boxing greats defeated to match.
Sugar Ray Leonard is my favorite boxer of all times.... But he does not beat Floyd at welter.... Ray Ray was Great but he was to stiff and he never would of got any combos off on Floyd. I mean Floyd Sr. Gave Ray problems along with that premature stoppage.
Very nice highlight :good Ps. I noticed that the fake bolo punch he nailed Duran with in the rematch was missing, they should have included that one, that was something else that punch, pure cheek vs one of the greatest ever.
