I think you are underestimating the G-Man. He beat Jones Jr. as an ametuer, and even Roy said they would have been great rivals.

I would have liked to see Toney vs. Leonard too.
A good mover/boxer could beat Marvin Hagler, even in his prime had did have trouble with Marcos Geraldo a boxer with decent movement, he gave Marvin Hagler a pretty close fight. And you could see in that fighter where SRL got his gameplan from.

And some of the other Philly boxers outboxed Marvin Hagler, and i heard even Kevin Finnegan gave him hell. Of course Marvin Hagler wasn't at his peak then.

But i still think it shows he could be outboxed, although the opponent would have to be at the top of his game. And be incredibly skillful. Someone like RJJ, Herol Graham, Michael Nunn, ETC.

Yeah but Hagler was the type of guy that you not only had to outbox but outfight.....Not as if Marvin was some unskilled brawler.....Leonard was given a gift decision against Hagler
