re: #117 Obdicut

Yes, Leonard had been retired for a couple of years.

Hagler also called him a bitch in the ring, and told him to fight like a man. That’s always funny to me. What he meant was “Stop fighting like you’re Sugar Ray Leonard, man, it makes it hard to hit you.”

oh yeah … boxers were the earliest trash talkers … led by Ali! Gotta go for my walk before the temperature hits 100 degrees. A final thought … boxing will never be the same because the good fights are never on free TV anymore. The masses are deprived of the best live fights and that keeps fans from caring about the sport. Imagine a great fight on free TV in prime time on a Friday … wow. have a good one!
