whew, sugar ray leonard! Sooooo smooth! Boxing is such a cruel sport. Those punches thrown were executed sooo nicely and yet filled with every bad intention to hurt.
Good GAWD!
That's Ray in like what? His 12th pro fight? Are you kididng me?
The best part is when he is circling Floyd, like JEB Stuart riding around the Union Army, never hitting him twice from the same spot.
Floyd gets full points for toughness. He really hung in there.
Obviously on the A side Meth ;DQuote:

I still don't think he beat Haggler but to hang tough with him for 15 was a big ask too!
Well said. I've always thought that regardless of what one thought of the decision (I get a draw every time I watch it), Ray put on one of THE remarkable performances one will ever see that night. But it only went 12 ;)Quote:

Very good points guys! Holy cow, what a tough, fast, mean guy in that ring! Can you imagine being in the ring with a fighter like that?Quote:
