He than begs the WBC to have Donny Lalonde put his Light Heavyweight title on the line for there Super Middleweight fight. All so he can win two titles and say he won 6 titles in 6 divisions.
Ever thought that Leonard was on the decline against Hagler?....

a) he moved up in weight to face the bigger man
b) he hadn't fought in 5 years
c) Hagler wasn't that much in decline, he was active and just had 2 of the biggest wins of his career

He is a great, end off.
brillant post. cc couldnt have said it better myself
