losses you never quite got over

[IamInuit]

Foreman/Frazier got to me but I'd have to say Hearns/Leonard. Watched it live on closed circuit at the old Corral in Calgary. I disliked Leonard immensely and Tommy was my favourite. My buddy had a man crush on Leonard. I was rubbing his face in it for 39 minutes and then......

Arguello/Pryor 1 happened in that same time frame and that got to me also but not like Hearns/Leonard. Tito/Hop followed. I was at a party and left. Went downtown to a pub, handed the bartender my keys and got shit faced. Roy/Tarver ripped pretty deep because Roy was right up there with Tommy but I half expected it after Ruiz and how he looked in the first Tarver fight.

I agree on each but

Leonard vs Hagler and
Leonard vs Heard are by far the worst for me.

Strangely I respect Leonard as much as any fighter now.(even if he started all the money issues in the sport as far as I'm concerned)

As stated nothing tops Hearns/Ray 1 for me and I really had no dog in the fight with Ray and Marvin. I had grown to respect both but that was after that stacked era calmed down. I think I may have scored the Hagler/Leonard fight more times then any other fight and the best I can come up with is a draw. I have never scored that fight for Leonard. Shit I think we scored it once together years ago.

He really was the Floyd of his day. Still the biggest draw in the sport 3 years after retirement. Still think Floyd might pull something similar although he's already retired for over 3 years

Not sure why Hagler gave up 15 rds, gloves, ring size and came out fighting right handed? A severe case of hubris or something.
