I have never fully understood why Hagler took his bat and ball and went home after the Leonard fight, he sulked, he complained, but did nothing about it in the ring with a rematch? Strange decision.
Foreman V Ali, this one puzzles me as Foreman was the huge favourite to win, surely a rematch was discussed or was George mentally scarred by Ali in the rumble?
Chavez V Whitaker is the most obvious, such a poor decision first time around.
Calzaghe V Hopkins!
Foreman-Ali II was headed towards that direction in early 1977. Foreman had taken a little over a year off after losing the title and sulked in disbelief and self denial as to what happened before beginning his comeback in early 1976. The loss to Jimmy Young derailed his comeback for another ten years. Still he did get his title back, 20 years after losing the title, still wearing the same trunks he wore when he lost to Ali.
