    Because Floyd may even believe he could win them all. He couldn't. His 50 includes Connor McGregor and a bunch of carefully selected opponents.

    Hagler won that fight, just the start of the dodgy decision era.

    Dodgy decisions have existed as long as decisions have existed.

    I don’t like to watch that fight because Ray Leonard admitted that it was an illusion. To hear Leonard admit to throwing flurries the last 30 seconds of each round to steal a couple in the eyes of the judges just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Hagler did himself no favors either by coming out southpaw and starting off slow.

    Exactly all smoke and mirrors with srl. Same with rushing Duran into the rematch and getting a gift vs Hearns despite never outboxing him and clearly losing that fight.

    He still gets hailed as the best out of the fab 4 just because he was and still is the most liked.
    He was the golden boy out of them so he was always favoured and he heavily abused it.
    Its a waste cause I do think he is a great boxer, same as Floyd but they are both weasels.

    Every fighter will try to steal rounds by finishing big.

    At the end of the day Leonard came out of retirement and beat the number 1 MW in the world. Its one of the greatest victories in history.

    Yup having the opportunity to watch it again this time in better quality showcase's Hagler winning it even more clearly,

    Though Leonard did start to fatigue he still continued to do great work & was impressive throughout the fight, the way both guys were punching was something to behold,

    Regardless I'm Glad Hagler walked away while giving a huge **** U to the Boxing Corruption on his way out , as I'm sure those judge's would have liked to see more losses on Marvin's record before being done with him like they have done to countless others.

    Nah Floyd wasn’t beating no legit career MW. As I said he started his career at 130 where as Ray Leonard started at 147. Hagler was a MW for his whole career even a shot version of himself would have been to strong for Floyd.

    Maybe but he would duck him.
    Also Hagler was a real man compared to Floyd and Floyd wouldnt want nothing to do with animal.
    If Pacquiao scared him, imagine how he feel about Marvelous.

    Nunn might have beaten Leonard in 1987.
