    I had the first fight for Taylor by 2 points, I had Hopkins winning the second fight by 2 points. I'm not if any of you believe in the theory, "You got to eat the champ to take his belt" or not, so instead of making a round even, I would just give it to the champ, dont know if you guys feel the same or not.

    Sarcasm. In no way would the likes of Hopkins ever pose a threat to Hagler.

    What does Leonard have to do with this thread? I dont understand how you connect the two.

    It's generally the bread and butter of you're posts. How brilliant Hagler was and how great Leonard wasn't.

    I had the first fight 7 rounds to 5 for Taylor. Taylor won a lot of the early rounds and Hopkins took too long to get going. Hopkins likely would've retained in a 15 rounder, however, as he was coming on and Taylor was fading. The second fight I had a draw.

    I dissagree with your assessment of Ray Leonard. He had many assets that made him one of the greats even if not quite the equal of Robinson or Ali. Hagler had more fights so I give him more credit.
