It should of never been stopped. Hearns was exhausted but he wasn't getting beat up. He should of been allowed to make it out the round and get his minute rest

Debatable but the result was inevitable imo.. Look what happened in the rematch, the fight was identical to the first one..Originally Posted by Violent Demise
Hearns has the upperhand in the early-midrounds, then fatigue kicks in and Leonard comes alive to take over..
They could have fought 5x and I can't imagine things turning out any other way..

No, not all all, not by a country mile.
Classic fight, but far from favorite fight of all-time.

Foolish kidApparently you have never been inside the ring
I have yet to meet one person who believes Leonard deserved the draw in the rematch. Hearns won the 2nd fightDebatable but the result was inevitable imo.. Look what happened in the rematch, the fight was identical to the first one..

I think its the magnitude of the matchup more than it actually being the best fight.
Two great WW champs , Macklin v Moore was maybe a better fight in your opinion but hardly caught the imagination of the whole World.

Great fight. Good stoppage. Both guys proved their greatness in this one. I thought Tommy won the rematch easy, but Ray refused to lose in this one.
Hagler vs Hearns was the first fight I saw, and it is still my favorite to this day.

No. But it's up there with my all-time favs, 'cause it had all the ingredients. Two already great fighters living up to the fight hype. A fight with ebb and flow (love that). A 15-round fight, the way championship fights still ought to be. Leonard turning from boxer to puncher and Hearns from puncher to boxer.
Yep.... it's pretty up there among my favorite fights.
