I bet there are 2 things Hagler regrets in that fight with Leonard, fighting orthodox in the first few rounds and not having those extra 3 rounds to beat Ray up.

BTW if Douglas v Tyson went to points, Tyson would have got the decision.Originally Posted by Master

I would add a third one. Not pressing Leonard from the opening bell and trying to be too "cute." The Hagler that destroyed Hearns would've probably beaten Leonard.

Holmes vs Tyson. In Larry's biography stated, it was the only fight where he wanted to call it off; while in the dressing room. But also said King lured him into the fight by offering millions.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

I can believe that. Holmes was humiliated in that fight but I am sure he could have done a lot better in that fight.

Re: Fights "won" BEFORE the fight
Cassius Clay's mental demolition of Sonny Liston was truly amazing.
Most of Joe Louis' title defences were won before the first bell rang, as were most of Mike Tysons defences.
Floyd and Canelo stacked the odds in their favour beforehand, but that's not quite the same
The Mob fix was really in during the 1950's, but we won't ever know the true extent of that!

Duran V Leonard 1 : Leonard at the referee instructions is looking down and sideways and has a look that says "what the hell am i doing here in the ring with this mad man"? Duran isn't sweating, he's intense and is totally focused on a worried Leonard! Leonard is trying to remain calm, but he knows all hell is about to break loose and it did! This was the last time we saw Roberto Duran at his absolute frightening peak!
