@JoseContreras-fy7lb Жыл бұрын
LaLonde was a sack of potatoes, a paper champion who would not have lasted 2 rounds if Michael Spinks was still ruling the light heavyweights. As for Leonard, yes there was a time when he truly was one of the best boxing champions of the world, blinding speed, boxing skills and good punching power with a cocky attitude. However by the time he stepped in the ring with La"Blonde" he was past his prime and weighed in at 165. That's embarrassing and pathetic when a "puffed" up middle weight knocks out a 175 light heavyweight. Leonard knew he still had enough left in his tank to beat a mediocre fighter who benefited from Michael Spinks retirement.

Leonard was a coward against Hagler in Las Vegas, where it's easy to bribe anyone including fight judges. He ran away from Hagler for most of the fight. He even requested a larger ring and 12 rounds instead of 15 rounds before the fight and was given both. More room and less time to have to run away from Hagler. After the fight Leonard had to go to the hospital to get checked out. He probably had to get oxygen from running away from Hagler so much. Hagler was a real fighter and Leonard was a running chickenshit. Anyone knows that you never win a fight by running away from your opponent as Leonard did, but the corrupt [bribed] judges gave the decision to Leonard. I watched the entire fight, and I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the decision. Hagler was robbed, and Leonard is not the best fighter of his time. you gotta' be kidding me? Marvin Hagler may or may not be the best fighter of his time but Leonard was never even on that list.

@Telcontar1962 Жыл бұрын
@@DeCurtaRican No. Both wrre great but not right up there. There were far too many dodgy decisions on Julio Cesar Chavez career and way too much deliberate fouling. He's much like Duran is that respect. I loved Jones right from Seoul. Always loved watching the American and Cuban Olympic boxing teams until things such as happened to Jones became so blatant the sport became unwatchable. Also Calzaghe said that a Jones in his prime would have beaten him. But allowing for all that Jones was born too late. Boxing was already on a downward spiral. Too many manufactured fights, to obtain too many fake titles (a charge which could be levelled at Pac except he fought really top quality fighters viryualky all the time) and his decline was quite dramatic IMO.

Leonard is so smart and Lalonde was so eager to make a big payday and fight a legend that if memory serves me he agreed to come in at 168 which was a huge factor. His stamina and strength dissipated over the middle rounds and Ray assumed control. He did the same shit with Hagler. Marvin like Lalonde was so eager for the payday that he said ok to all of Leonard's demands. Ray was so brilliant inside and outside of the ring

My appreciation an actual love for sugar Ray totally grew after this I'm 65 and I watched him with Duran, Duran was my man but when he makes his comeback like this he was great. I never saw this fight I'm happy I was able to see it. Lalonde I would have never even lasted four rounds with a young sugar Ray, definitely would have never hit him God bless you sugar ray and those great champions of that era possibly the greatest era of all time it's tough to say though the graziano era was very good and sugar Ray Robinson was a master too but Leonard showed what a master he was in this fight

Where Leonard really shines is his footwork. He had the best footwork in the game. A contemporary fighter who shows foot work on his caliber is Vasily Lomachenko. His father took him out of boxing for a couple of years and put him into dancing. It improved his game tenfold.

Ray Leonard was one of my favourite fighters to watch. had it all unreal skill, speed, power, chin and an unquenchable fighting spirit. His IQ transcended the ring and he used it to get things his own way in his comeback with contractual demands he insisted on to give him an advantage. Claiming a light heavy title here was a joke because the fight was at the 168 lbs limit, the light heavy category is 168 plus to 175 lbs, you can't fight for a title of a certain weight category if you don't weigh in within that category. All that happened there was that La Londe made 168 to fight for Leonard's Super middle title.

I watched the fight live and Lalonde fought a hell of a fight. The video doesn't show SRL putting his head out with his hands down to taunt Lalonde to show he wasn't hurt (which means he obviously was) and Lalonde made him pay dearly by splitting Leonard's lip wide open (or maybe I am confusing that with a past Leonard-Duran fight). But Leonard overcame, he was a great Champion, but this fight showed he was starting to slow. My favorite Leonard fight is how he outboxed Marvin Hagler...can't believe anyone could think Leonard lost that fight. What a boxing clinic...about as good as the clinic Buster Douglas gave Tyson. Those fights are textbook examples of how to box by the winners of each fight. Of course Clay/Ali has many fine example also.

No fighter stays young forever. I mean, SRL had some miles on him coming into this fight and he was retired more at this point as opposed to being active. For SRL to pull off what he did speaks volumes about how special he was. Donny was no day at the beach. Much respect to him.
