I see it quite the opposite. I think Hagler severely underestimated Leonard and was severely over confident that he would waste the 3 year retired ex welter. so much so that he gave Leonard glove choice, ring size and agreed to 12 rounds instead of 15 which in hindsight most likely was the difference as Rays legs were gone at the end of 12. Hagler further showed his arrogance or blind brawn by coming out right handed for the first couple of rounds. And again that also cost him over 12. He lost the first 2 rounds. He certainly made more money in that fight then any other but if he was not extremely confident he would have never agreed to those things or come out orthodox.
