    But SRL would of been stopped had it been a 15 round fight, like it was supposed to be until SRL got it changed, he also demanded the gloves. The ring size ETC.

    SRL waited until Marvin Hagler had slowed then, then chose the right moment, and not only that he also got everything he wanted, which would be in favor of a master boxer like himself.

    a draw?? Hagler lost the first 3 rounds. which mean he had to win 7 of the last 9 rounds. most of his shots were missed. and SRL timed him perfectly when the round was about to end. it wasnt one sided but i felt he clearly beat Hagler.

    now i will watch the fight again and rescore it.

    Well you can't imply that me having it a draw, is some sort of shock. Considering how controversial the fight is, its the most debated decision in boxing history.

    After the 4th round Marvin Hagler won a majority of the rounds, and was working for most of the rounds. SRL would try and steal rounds with flashy flurries, which wern't really effective as they were mostly slapping shots.

    well of course his shots arent gonna be effective on Haglers hard ass head. but they were clean landing shots the only shots that looked kinda slappy were in round 12 when he flurried out of the corner.

    but like i said i will rewatch this fight for like the 15th time since its one of my favs. i will post my scorecard in a bit. but it couldnt have been draw.

    after half the round SRL turned it around not like he had Hagler in trouble or anything but he was racking up some shots after he got out of that corner. if i had to give it to someone it probably would be hagler but it wasnt a easy round to judge IMO.

    We are branching out here from the main topic.

    SRL's initial retirement apart from the detatched retina, is due to Hagler's seeming invincibility in those days. (What more with the injury)

    I believe Sugar Ray conveniently used the injury to avoid an inevitable confrontation with Hagler at that point in time. He only came out of this semi-retirement and resumed his career, when in his mind, had resolved to come up with the winning gameplan to beat Hagler.

    Which he did!( I believe he narrowly won that fight with Hagler too)
    So to Sugar Ray Leonard's credit, he himself now is a walking, breathing, and living legend to the sport.
