[epyh]

Gtfoh dumbo.....leonard almost knocked hearns out in the 6th 7th and 8th rounds of there first fight.....leonard stood toe to toe with duran the first fight and lost by a round or so and thats against one of the best infighters in history....know your knowledge dumbo....the rematch leonard moved and stayed off the ropes ....there is no shame in losing a Cllose decision to the greatest lightweight of all time and thats fighting his fight as well....the rematch with hearns leonard admits that hearns deserved that fight but they were a shadow of there welterweight days...leonard done all the damage in the fisrt fight so take your head out your ass and sit down and watch that fight again son...emanuel steward even said it was the body shot that leoanrd landed in the 6th round that ruined hearns....know your knowledge gumbo

Shut your trap, gonzo

The Duran fight was an 1 point victory only because Duran took his foot off the gas the last 2 rds, knowing he had it in the bag ( he must have known of the scorecards).
Don't believe me?
Watch the tape, it's free on YT

Leonard won the 7 and 8, but was losing on all 3 scorecards when he knocked out Hearns

So watcha saying ?

Leonard rematch with Duran was a joke, Duran should never have climbed in that ring in his condition, and even then, Leonard played it safe and scared

Foh leanord took Duran in his own style the first fight and got the better of him and was screwed only cause he didn't fight his way. Second fight exposed Duran as one dimensional.

Would have never guessed that the great Marvin Hagler had the vocabulary of an 80's teenage blond.

He got battered son, and you could see it on the expression on his face throughout the fight

I've never seen this expression again on Leonard while fighting
He was almost crying during the post fight announcement

Leonard won 6,7,8 ...6 and 7 he battered hearns from corner to corner and those rounds should have been scored 10-8.....he battered hearns in round 13 and knocked him through the ropes 2 times...one was a knockdown , leonard was not one time hurt in the fight and all the big rounds were won by leonard...add round 14 which wouod have been a 10-8 round its then an even fight.....gumbo all your hear say of what might have happened is you gumbo living in dream world and hoping...i don't even watch the 3rd fight of leoanrd duran because they were a shadow of what they were in 1980.....leonard lost by a round and won the 13,14,15 and made that first fight razor close...as what A.K said in the rematch leonard boxed his ears off....know your inowledge gumbo

[The plunger man]

do you read i said i believe there was a rematch clause...

Well i believe i can walk on water but i can't....there was no rematch clause and leonard is well documented saying it was not a career and just 1 fight to make history....i know arum was also pretty upset after the fight because he never rights on leonard after his win..... i will challenge anybody on this forum who thinks they know more about this fight than i do...simples

Hagler won, lost on the score cards Leonard ducked the rematch.

Jacobs won, lost on the score cards GGG ducks the rematch.

Long list of other fighters that done the same.

Happen back then, happens today. Nothing new.

How did I know some jackass would bring up Golovkin?

I'd explain why you're wrong but this isn't the thread for it.

If they fought today, Vegas standard ring is 20x20. SRL couldn't use that star power to get the larger ring. I think a smaller ring has a huge impact on the outcome of the fight.

It was a 20x20 ring.

Try again.

Hagler made some silly decisions in that fight. Boxing orthodox early cost him that contest. When he was in Southpaw stance he dominated the rounds. I've scored it a few times with friends and he lost imo.

Too bad we never got the rematch. I believe he would've boxed southpaw the whole fight and got the W. But leonard was the master of playing promoter games. Just look at the Aaron Pryor situation years before.

Wrong. Hagler only started having success once Leonard slowed down and became more stationary and less active in the second half of the fight. And Hagler boxing out of an orthodox stance had never been an issue before because he was a natural switch-hitter.

And what Aaron Pryor situation? The one where Pryor ducked two offers to fight Leonard?

I don't believe so. I'm sure you'd know because you're a real boxing fan.

No it wasn't.

Yes, it was. Stop trying to argue with facts, it's embarrassing.
