    mean to the sport of boxing?

    You knew hagler wouldn't fight again and the way Leonard was talking he wasn't going to fight saying that only it could only take a personal goal of intense burning desire to bring him out again. No one lasts forever but didn't there seem to be avoid in the sport without Hagler? No one talks about it but that how it seemed to be since Hagler was flagship of all superstars. And the following year Spinks bowed out too. But no one seem to care about that.

    Tyson mania had taken over and he was boxings main attraction, and biggest attraction for a long time for a bit to come.
