    I was thinking that Carpentier was too obvious, but when I thought of Len Harvey, he "only" went from from the BBB of C WW Title to the HW Championship, although Len started his career weighing considerably less than the WW limit.

    Ray by another close decision. Marvin was faded at this point, and wit the mind games Leonard played, a bit manipulated.

    Hagler did a lot of things wrong in the fight but in my opinion still clearly won. I think Hagler would have been favored in a rematch but God knows if he would have gotten the nod (shades of Canelo-GGG). I do give Leonard lots of credit for his effort but still believe Hagler won.

    Hagler would have looked geriatric. Still won the first fight.

    Leonard was scared of him 5 years earlier, then he saw, like everyone else, Hagler slipping.
