Duran beating SRL in 80 or SRL beating Hagler in 87?

[BennyST]

Leonard at his best was virtually unbeatable. Leonard at his best, would have been a very short odds-on favorite to defeat any version of Hagler, Hearns, Duran or Benitez...

Finally, let's not forget the Hagler vs Antuofermo draw...It's laughable to claim he beats Sugar Ray Leonard.

Was Leonard out of his prime and not at his best when he lost to Duran?

Could have sworn that was Leonard in his prime and at his best. In fact, he stepped up (they both raised each other's level) and showed as much, if not more, than in just about any other fight of his career arguably. Leonard was as good, if not better, in that fight than he was in the Hearns, Benitez or Hagler fights. The only difference is that Duran stepped up higher and just stayed ahead of him.

You think that Antuo draw was just?

Anyway, the Duran win was better. It doesn't get better than someone moving up to beat a prime, at his best Leonard.

Not at all, Leonard was in his prime when losing a close decision to Duran in 1980 why you ask

Only thing i think of the Antuofermo draw is how limited Vito was. Which puts into perspective Hagler's ability compared to that of Sugar Ray Leonard..

Duran fought a great fight in Montreal and was the just winner. But Leonard bested him soon after in the return.

Actually, the Antuofermo draw says more about how bad the judging was. People were so sure Hagler won that a photographer asked one of the Petronellis to move closer into frame so he could take a picture of the new champion before the decision was read.

Yeah Marvin left no doubt in the rematch

The 'Brawl in Montreal' by being more action-packed.
