Hagler was not sharp for the Leonard fight, and I know some people say well Ray is the reason he was not sharp, and there is some truth to it. Ray was a great fighter, but Hagler was not sharp like with his other defenses. He came in 158 and then fought the first two rounds southpaw and he had not fought in 13 months. I think the Hagler who fought Hearns would have beaten Ray. I am not sure he would have knocked out Ray but I am pretty sure he would have. Seems like being inactive really hurt Marvin Hagler.
