THAT... to me is what separates the true great fighters from the manufactured ones. Nobody knew what would happen when Hagler faced Hearns. Nobody knew what would happen when Hagler faced Mugabi.

The same applies to the other great ones. Nobody knew what would happen when Leonard faced Hearns... each time. Absolutely NOBODY knew what would happen when Leonard faced Duran... each time.

You can go on and on and on. The truly great ones went into fights not knowing what would happen... and neither did the fans.

I miss those days.
