Leonard didn't beat Hagler. He bought that fight. It's amazing that Leonard never lost a fight in Vegas. He lost the Hagler and Hearnes fights but was gifted a decision and a draw.
I do think Hagler should have gotten the decision, but Leonard did!
In '81, both in their prime, and Hearns coming in at 32-0 (30 KO's), Leonard had the big 13th round and stopped the hit man in the 14th. Leonard never ducked anyone! In the 2nd fight with Hearns...1989...they were both past their primes, Leonard had had eye surgery and was attempting another comeback...Hearns dropped him twice I think, and although Leonard finished strong, was lucky to get the draw...I agree with you that Hearns really won, but the '81 fight against Hearns was the one that counted to me and cemented Leonard as a great!

Both fighters were GREAT.
Leonard did have all the hype, but the dude could fight and was tough.
Duran was a beast, especially at lightweight. Could argue that Lightweight Duran was P4P the best ever. (Yeah I said it).
The first fight, I thought that Duran (and Leonard himself) took SRL out of his game. Duran kept coming, but I also think Leonard wanted to prove he could slug with him. That was a great fight.
2nd fight, Duran was soft and weak.
Too bad we don't get to see fights like those anymore.
