Hearns did more than enough to get the win, Leonard himself admits the same these days...

Yup, Sugar Ray Leonard has publicly admitted that he feels Tommy won that fight. Funny thing is, Sugar Ray says that Hearns still calls Sugar Ray Leonard and asks him if he want's to step in the ring. Old Tommy beats old Sugar. Tommy was no joke and put the hurt on Ray in the first fight. A rematch was something I did not wan't to see. Ray Leonard took a huge risk taking that second fight. He took even a greater risk in fighting Hagler. If any one does not think Sugar Ray has any guts, think again and watch those wars. I still don't know why Ray Leonard was so afraid of Duran. I guess this is the same way PBF is afraid of Tony Margarito. Go figure (I am not saying this is true but it sure sounds familiar) And Tony is not half the great Champion Duran was, But credit to Ray Leonard for facing his demons. The man was a great warrior in his prime. Too bad the prime and logetivy of this sport is so short (IMO) but that's life.
