Hearns had the measure of Leonard in terms of boxing ability IMO, he could have outboxed Hagler too but got his strategy all wrong. Hearns was my favourite fighter of the 80's but I sometimes think that his power actually hindered him at times.
What I mean is that because he knew he had one punch ko power in his right it made him stand his ground when he could actually outbox pretty much anybody & often this would be a better strategy.
Hearns was a little chinny but I still rate him as an all time great.
