Thats a great point, back in that era Duran took Hagler 15 rounds in a close fight and was then destroyed by Hearns in two rounds a few months later who in turn was destroyed in three by Hagler.

Duran beat Leonard but couldbnt get past Hagler who was beaten by Leonard.
Each was a legend who could have turned it either way on the night.

God I miss those boxing days.

The Leonard/Hagler fight was a joke. One of the turning points in boxing that brought today's state of things. Leonard/Hearns II was even worse. Somehow Leonard for all his greatness could be as deceiving as FMS. Could be phenomenal but also knew how to still get the judges' nod when he was in trouble.

this could go on and on.  the problem with fmw is, he sidesteps some of the greats??? in their primes of his era for the b e a n e r tour.

sergio martinez 154

paul williams 147

manny paco when he was winning.


leonard, hearns, hagler and duran would jump at this guys.  maybe someone skips martinez because of the speed issue but they are all over a midget like manny with/out arum.
