Legend, many bleary eyed, middle of the night, wake up calls with my dad to watch him fight.

I wouldn't quite go that far. From memory Leonard did most of his work in the latter part of each round (perhaps looks a bit better in the judges eyes) and Hagler and his corner were far too relaxed about the whole thing. If they'd fired Hagler up he probably could have won fairly comfortably. I say that as a huge Hagler fan and someone who couldn't stand Leonard!

All the power punches were Hagler. Leonard strategy was to back track and flick for the cameras. We all have one eye for our favourites. Hagler just looked complete.
