He throws two left hooks and it looks like Hagler catches each one on his right glove Probably the hardest shots he threw in that whole fight
Sure sounds like it. Seems like he's blaming Leonard for his loss against Honeyghan, and that it was a big conspiration by SRL to take him down. Maybe SRL really thought it was best for Curry to stay at WW, and seeing Curry relative lack of succes at higher weights, he might have been right.
You Have No Sense of CONTEXT Bruh, NOR Have You Ever Had a Conversation w/Donald Curry... Leonard Killed 2 Birds w/1 Stone in that Instance...He Had the Comeback Itch All Along, But DIDN'T Want to Face the Young, Fresh Upstart Curry in the Process...Nor Did He Want to Run the Risk of Curry Beating an Aging Hagler Either, in a Fight That was Being Discussed @ the Time... It was Also NO Secret Curry was Struggling to Make '47 Even PRIOR to the Honeyghan Fight... REED
Lol, you're ridiculous. You don't know the absolute truth juste cause you talked to Curry a couple of time. I'm sure SRL has a much different version of the situation. Curry version is full of assumptions and is for pretty much any impartial observer, very dubious
If by "impartial observer", you mean relative of Ray Leonard The story is completely believable and typical of Ray Leonard
It is barely believable, unless you think that SRL is omniscient. If SRL had told curry to fight Hagler, he probably would have gotten destroyed and Curry would have also told the same story about how evil SRL destroyed his careers.
He doesn't need to be omniscient, merely influential Whatever, this is your "thing" in general so continue your flaming
I can see that you managed, once again, to get completely confused in a very simple discussion And if my "thing" is not believing any barely credible scenario, ill sure continue doing it
REED Is Certainly Much Closer to the Truth than YOUR Lame, Contrarian Ass Is...Again, You Have ZERO CONTEXT On that Matter, You're Merely Talking Shit, Trying to Look Edgy... REED's Talked to Curry Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay More than a "Couple Times" Also...Been Privy to Him Off/On for Roughly 15 Fucking Years Now...REED's Seen the LOOK On Dude's Face as he Speaks of the Regret of the United States Boycotting the 1980 Olympics, the Sense of LOSS He Carries to This Very Day... And WHEVEVER the Leonard/Trainer Story Comes Up, that SAME Look Comes Across Curry's Face...What's Funny is He Always Tries to DEFLECT from It....The Most He's Ever Actually SAID to REED was "I Try to Forget The Details, But Ray IS Who He Is and Whatever's Whatever"...Curry Seems More EMBARRASSED by Being Suckered than Anything Else... It's When REED Speaks to Curry's Co-Trainer from Back Then or Others that were in His Circle, When Curry's NOT Around, that the Truth Comes Out..."Donald Always Idolized Ray. Put Too Much Trust In Him Even When People That Knew Him Warned Donald Not To." These Are 100% OFF CAMERA Accounts that Benefit NO ONE... This Story was Reported by Boxing Mags of That Day....It's Also a FACT Mike Trainer Not Only Advised Ray Leonard, but Advised Donald Curry Around the Time of the Honeyghan Loss... COINCIDENCE? REED
It's "Barely Believable" to a Trolling CLOWN Like You, NOT Knowing What the Fuck You're Talking About, Being CONTRARIAN Just for the Fuck of It...As Usual... @ the Time Curry Went to Leonard/Trainer to Advise Him, HIS (Donald's) Plan was to Move Up to '54, Test the Waters @ a Higher Weight vs. McCallum, Then Go After Hagler in a Fight That Was Building in Momentum...Granted, A Year or So Later, Curry Moved Up and LOST to McCallum Anyways, but He Also Did That w/His Confidence SHATTERED from the Loss to Honeyghan...No Guarantee That Happens if Curry Fought McCallum When he Alerted Leonard/Trainer to his Plans... Hagler Destroying Curry is Of No Consequence and Reestablishes How LITTLE Context You Have on the Matter...You Couldn't Grasp the FACT People were Quickly Clinging to Curry as the Replacement for Sugar Ray Leonard...He'd Just Waxed McCrory in 2 Rounds and was the Undefeated Welterweight Champion of the World, Ranked No Lower than # 3 Pound for Pound on the Planet, @ Worst... Curry vs. an Aging Hagler was Anticipated, Especially w/Leonard "Retired" w/a Detached Retina... Knowing Curry's Plan, Leonard/Trainer "Advised" him to Remain @ Welter, Despite his Struggles to Make Weight, Where he Lost his Very Next Fight, Which Killed Any and ALL Talks of Curry-Hagler...And "Conveniently", Leonard Unretires and Challenges Hagler After the Fact? Coincidence???... REED
That you are Curry butt buddy is completely irrelevant. I have no problem believing that Curry told you this as he laid on the bed beside you. I also have no problem believing that Curry actually thinks SRL tried to conned him. Still, doesnt make it the truth cause maybe it wasnt leonard intention.
No, Your 'Thing" is Contrarian Bullshit...You've Taken the Torch and Ran w/it in mikE's Absence... No One's "Confused" @ All, Just Growing WEARY of Your Bullshit.... REED
Everybody knows about this you clown. Nothing funnier than an ignoramus spewing banality yet thinking hes knowledgeable. Thinking that Curry carreer crash was all orchestrated by SRL is laughable, even by your lowly standard
Instead of Acknowledging the Likelihood of NOT Knowing What the Fuck You're Talking About, of Possibly Being WRONG, You Take the Discussion Down Some GAY Ass Road... Trolling 101... REED
And ive never claimed that it is absolutely impossible that Leonard advices were meant to be detrimental to Curry carreer. Only that the evidences are incredibly flimsy. You're not a very intelligent person Reed, so ill try to explain it simply to you. A lot of persons always blame external factors when it comes to explaining the reasons of their failures (which is called an external locus of control in psychology). It seeems that this is what Curry is doing in this situation.
Fuck Off w/YOUR Lame, Juvenile, Contrarian Bullshit... Doesn't Make You Look the Least Bit "Cool" or "Edgy"...In Fact, All it Does is Illustrate How HARD You're Trying to Stand Out, for Whatever Reason... REED
And yeah we get it, everybody that doesnt agree with you on everything is a contrarian. Which is a pathetic accusation considering a agree with you most of the time. so i guess it also makes you a contrarian
Maybe it's his profession, but it's impossible to not notice he rarely posts anything if it's not contrarian. It's one thing to not take anecdotes as evidence or play devil's advocate. It's another to constantly be on the lookout for something to find disagreement with.
