1). was a Hagler fan 2). always knew he was a phony 3). cocaine snorting wife beaters are never at the top of my list 4). despite the smile and "Golden" image he was/is a selfish prick
Cosign with Musze... Hagler was absolutely robbed with those ten second shoeshines by Leonard...Although, Hagler didnt do himself any favors trying to outbox him the first few rounds. Anywhooo, the funny thing for me is that as a kid, I bought into the Leonard good guy myth, and absolutely despised Duran, who just seemed like a mean, bad man. By most if not all accounts, the truth is 180's from this perception - Leonard is a prick and Hands of Stone is a friendly, approachable guy.
Trade In Aaron Pryor for Roberto Duran & REED can Say LIKEWISE... Leonard was EASY to Like as a Child...He was ALL about IMAGE & the Media Helped Perpetuate it....Growing Up, REED Loooooooved Alexis Arguello as Well & DESPISED Aaron Pryor for his Wild Man Antics, for BOLDLY Pointing his Glove & GLARING @ his Foe's During the Introductions AND for Whipping Arguello's Ass Twice... But as an Adult, REED Learned to RESPECT & APPRECIATE Pryor's STRUGGLE & the ADVERSITY he Faced, while Also Ultimately Realizing Leonard was FAKE... REED:mj:
Leonard was a coke-snorting wife-beater, but be damned if he wasn't great to watch when he was finishing off a hurt opponent.
