Duran comfortably won the Montreal fight. Crooked pro Leonard judges don't count for ****. The N'orleans rematch was different, by that time Leonard had everyone in his pocket which is why he didn't get deducted points for NOT fighting.

Gutless wanker, not fit to be mentioned in the same book as someone like Duran.

**** scared of Mike McCallum. This thing ran all night from a slower than cold treacle Hagler ffs.

Duran would win again. And this Leonard would do worse. Look, if he boxes and dances, he may outbox the Hands of Stone for a portion of the fight, but Leonard would tire because he would be there and chasing his tail, make a street fight of it and Duran would KHTFO!

Why would he tire and get knocked out?

Timing beats speed

A great swarmer beats a great boxer most of the time (Both are hybrid fighters but Duran is more verastile than SRL)

Like Muhammad Ali said: ''No man can last 15 rounds if he takes 6 steps to his opponents 3.'' What he means by that is that dancing and running like a rabbit is not a smart idea, especially against swarmers. Duran's footwork was like Louis and Leonards was like Ali. Only Ali could do what he did in the ring. The only other is Willie Pep. But Leonard is no Pep in terms of legwork and footwork. For most men, if you run like a rabbit, you waste energy. If you tire, your chin and toughness won't help you.

And Last but Not Least:

A weight drained, unmotivated Roberto was only slightly behind after round 7, winning some rounds too. Duran fought MMH better than Leonard did. With Roberto fighting under conventional rules nearly beat him at his peak and at his weight. You can make a case for Duran having actually won the fight. Leonard under Ray's rules did not really beat him. You could make a case in which he has actually lost the fight, but Marvin got robbed.

It will be a Ali-Frazier I like fight but Duran knocks him out late.

An interesting choice of Hagler as the common opponent.

Now Hearns, on the other hand...

The 2nd Leonard / Hearns fight proves without a doubt the blatant cheating that goes on in US boxing as far as I'm concerned.

NO ONE other than Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder could possibly have scored that a draw, apart of course, from Leonards TAME judges.
