Both bad, bad robberies - a testimony to the subjectivity of boxing judging.

according to the one who has become known as 'The Hagler/Leonard Numbskull'. the second Leonard/Hearns fight was fixed.

I know, I laughed, too.

I can't objectively answer that, since I didn't see Leonard-Hearns
2, but I did see Briggs-Foreman, and that was a miscarriage of
justice. Lennox Lewis was probably robbed in his first bout with
Evander Holyfield, or I think it was his first bout, the one which
was declared a draw, but by most standards Lewis won. I need
to see the Leonard/Hearns 2 fight for me to comment.

Brad M this is an excellent question sir! You could flip a coin on this one as both fights were robberies! Foreman clearly beat up Briggs and should have been awarded the decision and of course Hearns had Leonard on the floor twice and clearly dominated the action yet it was declared a draw! I believe that judges should be graded and when they blatantly make mistakes like these, they should lose their job.

That's a tough question. I would have to say Leonard/Hearns 2. Leonard even admits that he lost the fight. Wait a second the CIA might be behind both these fights too. Needed to raise money ya know for one those........... Inside joke, Brad knows.

Toughguy great point!!!

tough call, brad! guess i'd have to say leonard/hearns2 by a split decison. they were both terrible calls. i get really peeved at judges who seem unable to watch more than one boxer at a time. also those who dont seem to understand professional boxing scoring guidelines. l/h2 is a perfect example. i call it 'punchstat syndrome'. (or, maybe it's a...conspiracy!lol)
