He did & Hagler won that fight. Without Hagler going forwards there wouldn’t of been a fight.
It was 1st time in boxing History the Reigning unified Champion was Beaten on a Split Decision.
They Tried everything & Offered loads of £ for Hagler to have a Rematch -
He Refused saying you all saw who won that fight & what they did to me they not get a 2nd Chance.
True warrior & True to his word.
RIP Great Man.
Hagler requested a rematch but Leonard chose to retire again (the third of five high-profile retirements announced by Leonard during his professional boxing career), having announced it beforehand.[29][30] Fourteen months after their fight, Hagler retired from boxing in June 1988, declaring that he was "tired of waiting" for Leonard to grant him a rematch. Just a month after Hagler's retirement, Leonard announced another boxing comeback to fight against WBC light-heavyweight champion Donny Lalonde at the 168lbs super-middleweight limit. In 1990, Leonard finally offered Hagler a rematch which reportedly would have earned him $15m, but he declined. By then, Hagler had settled down into a new life as an actor in Italy and was now uninterested in his past boxing life.[31][32] Hagler said "A while ago, yeah, I wanted him so bad, but I'm over that."[31] At the 1994 Consumer Electronics Show Hagler and Leonard had a mock rematch by playing against each other in the video game Boxing Legends of the Ring, and claimed that an actual rematch was being planned, though it never happened.[33]
