Would be a great fight the SRL who beat hagler would not stand still against benns fast attacks side to side fighting on the retreat with stinging jab may have to survive some rocky moments as benns power and agression force him to the ropes may catch benn coming in and hurt him with a fast combo .if benn got hurt it would be all over as SRL was a great finisher.
Irrelevant .. he was old and slow .. that was the whole reason Leonard chose to take him on and the reason Marvin never came back ... it'sma styles matchup ..
Did you watch the fight? Kalule had one good round (the 7th) and it gets grossly exaggerated because of how inept Leonard made him look the rest of the fight.
Funny that NO ONE at the time, none of the people actually watching them on a daily basis, thought so. This truly is an embarrassing "theory" a k a excuse for Hagler's loss. Every post making it, shows himself not to be taken seriously. And if this wasn't enough - Leonard struggled with Kalule? Jesus. You've really lost the plot when it comes to Leonard.
Actually a few people had noticed Hagler's decline. Jimmy Jacobs for one (he picked Mugabi to beat Hagler for that reason). Even Leonard was quite open about the fact that he came back to challenge Hagler at that point because he was looking slower and more beatable.
Why do you continuously post sh it? Leonard was up by 2 points on 2 cards ( 78 -76 ) , and 3 ( 78 - 75 ) on the other, at time of stoppage in the 9th round. These scores hardly reflect someone being made to look " inept. " Try to get it into your thick skull. No one gives a toss what half witted fanboys like you think about fight scoring, only the OFFICIAL judges, and THEIR SCORES count.
You certainly are a nut. If only your brain was half the size of your pathetic ego. Score fights? I don't think you could even score an own goal you moron.
I agree, and the fight I remember Ray stood in front Of Kalule with that, taking a lot of shots he really didn't have to But Ray being the warrior that he was was bent on stopping Kalule. And he did that. When he could've easily boxed Kalule and won a u.d.
