He was also in one of the toughest eras of boxing so go ahead and pick away.

ok all ican really say to that is

1) fought a very stupid fight in terms of tactics in the first duran fight
2) Hagler win is very much debatable along with the draw in the second Hearns fight
3) went on too long and ruined his own legacy
4) seemed to shy away from a mega fight with Aaron Pryor
He underestimated Duran fair enough. I feel Hagler result was accurate although I agree Hearns 2 was a bit off. I don't think he ruined his legacy at all with his 2 late defeats it's very rare a boxer doesn't go on too long including Ali and SRR. I didn't know there was much serious talk of a fight with Pryor and if there was what weight was it going to be at? If it was at WW I think SRL takes a hard fought but clear decision. If they could have made it a 140lbs fight then I think Leonard may have been weight drained and Pryor would take a decision.
