Marvin Hagler is my favorite fighter of all time. To this day it still pains me to watch the Hagler/Leonard fight, because, as many times as I've tried to convince myself that Hagler was robbed, the sad reality always hits home that he was outclassed by the best fighter of the 80's.
I totally disregard this nonsense that a fighter has to 'take' the championship ie; constantly come forward and outwork the other guy. If that were so, Muhammad Ali would never have won a decision.
Leonard's and Dundee's fight plan was brilliant, and as it began to unfold, it was painfully obvious that Hagler and his corner had no answer to it.
Sugar Ray Leonard won - end of story.
