Worth your time if you have half an hour.

My favourite bit is, "i'll take this time to thank Marvin Hagler."

Pat, pat.

Hagler doesn't even fucking look at him.

The only pundit I can recall giving Leonard a chance in this fight was Colin Hart of the Sun. Come to think of it,Hart was also the only one who tipped Muhammad Ali over George Foreman.

This shit still gives me goosebumps..thanx..Leonard got into Haglers head for some unknown reason Hagler did not attack Leonard gave too many early rds away to a back peddling sugar that only fought 45 seconds a round flicking harmless punches while actualy running many times.The fight was an anti climax. I think I, like many waited for the fight to start and it never really did ,& that is the reason Leonard stole the title..

I had 7-5 for Leonard

But we both agree Im guessing..... the word robbery should have never been associated with this fight ?

Trivia Question: Only 1 of the 3 common opponents Leonard and Hagler shared picked Loenard to win. Which one?

Hearns & Geraldo picked Leonard & Duran picked Hagler Im sure but if you are correct & it is only one then I`ll go with Hearns because I HEARD him say it, I only READ that Geraldo said something like `Leonard will win, he is a better boxer & has more class` or words similar.
