    Yeah, cuz it woulda made great business sense to send a 140 lb Leonard into the ring with a 160 lb Hearns.:lol::lol::lol:

    I didn't say it wasnt factual Mike.

    I simply agreed with the premise that it was a RE****ED TIME to make that fight.

    My 5 y/o daughter would be a better manager than whoever dreamt up that match up.:lol::lol::lol:

    You said that the reason it was dumb because Hearns was so much bigger than Leonard at the time the fight was proposed when they were fighting at the same weight.

    The person believed to have wanted the fight was Mr. Angelo Dundee. I agree, a bit of a blunder not being able to see the future big bucks in that fight.

    Yep. They kinda have this sink or swim mentality.

    They did this twice with Omar Figueroa. First he was thrown in there with Michael Perez and then it was Abner Cotto.
    Wwell Cotto was the one you would consider the sacrificial lamb. Figueroa looked vulnerable at the end of his very active 2012 campaign and Cotto was a good measuring step. After that it was all uphill for Omar and downhill for Cotto.

    He answers questions with questions that are not even in the same caliber of your question when he knows his comment is stupid.

    So do you or do you not realise that they are in different divisions?

    And why did you say Spence is a cherry picker? when has he ever cherry picked anyone, the guys only starting his career.

    Why do you use alts?

    Why did you think Salka was a homeless teenager?

    So many questions, that will forever go unanswered.....

    Dont change the subject.
    You moaned about Danny Garcia for fighting a "homeless teenager"

    Rod Salka is in his 30s and as far as I know, housed.

    This has nothing to do with his standard. You said something very specific that was just stupid.

    You may as well have called Salka black!

    I suppose you could count Fury vs. Chisora 1 as an example of this as well.
