Dunno why I was tagged into this, but hey it could happen. Canelo’s a knobhead, but i’ve Lost a lot of respect for GGG in all this, begging to be Canelo’s dance partner.

You could argue Hagler begged for the fight with Leonard. Triple G had to fight Canelo and get him out of the way. Then he can move onto the other challengers.

Hagler definitely begged and then ate a bunch of crow. now there's one fight you can bet at Hagler wishes he could get a second crack at. He should have fought the entire fight southpaw and gone for a knockout in around the 7th

I think it was Leonard who wanted the rematch more than Hagler.

Yeah Leonard probably wanted it more but he didn't want to show it so much. I think he really won that fight psychologically as well as physically

Leonard talked a lot of crap about how he psychologically beat Hagler with the mind games. It was a close fight but the biggest factors in his favour were the 12 rounds not 15.

I never liked Leonard

I never liked Leonard

Neither did I as I only ever saw the manipulatve Leonard setting the cards in his favour against Hearns, Duran, Lalonde and was glad he got smashed by Norris and Comacho.

The welterweight Leonard was however a true great fighter and his victories over Benitez, Hearns and Duran as well impressive defense (knockout of Dave Boy Green) showed his true class.
