ESPN 30 for 30: No Mas
- Thread starter HamAndEgger

They could have chose a better SRL saga for a 30 for 30, but hey Duran was a great gatekeeper
What other srl saga is there?
leonard-duran is the right choice
but leonard-hagler would be an interesting doc.
the battle they had, plus leonard ducking a rematch until years later
leonard-hearns would be a nice piece too.

All fight brought to us by Bob Arum da gawd
I would love to see a Lenard Hearns, and for someone to show Hearns some love after SRL did everything in his power to duck a rematch waited til Hearns was on the decline and still boxed the shyt out of SRL knock him down twice, and SRL walked away with one of the most blatant robberies in the history of the sport.
I felt they could of did a better story there rather then Duran, that robbery was enough to stain the legacy of SRL but it seemingly was glossed over, and never even talk about on some Roswell shyt, not only that how did that loss affect Hearns, it fukked up everything he fought for, he was robbed at his redemption, he is now to a certain degree only seen as a exciting fighter that could get sparked in the process when he was much much more than that, he should have got SRL love after taking his crown in the 2nd match, he was always likeable and a exciting fighter but got hate for no reason. That loss followed Hearns like a dark cloud surrounding him and it showed on his face, spirit, and aura, and that cloud lead him down a dark path in his post career, this is the normal type of 30 for 30 ESPN usually does.....
FuKk I care about Duran SRL, besides Duran getting lucky once, then taking a one sided ass whipping and shamefully quitting, and another UD. Theres no story IMO, a Hearns one would have been golden from all angles though
Manny aint want it...................
Like I stated, Arum had no issues serving Chavez to Martinez cause Chavez begged for the match, the promoter works for the fighter.............................

I thought those were covered pretty well in the HBO Legendary Nights series.
SRL came out too Golden still, can Hearns get a little shine

You ever peep that show that used to come on ESPN classics. They went through showing some of Sugar Ray's old fights and had Hearns on there. They got Leonard to admit that even he thought he lost that fight.SRL came out too Golden still, can Hearns get a little shine
I know Leanard fans act like this aint happen.....
Just like some Leanard supporters act like he aint try his hardest to duck Duran
Like some Leanard supporters act like a Duran fight before no Mas didnt exist
I could go on and on, SRL was one of my dudes but the way facts get skewed for him made me resent him to the fullest, and the same with Oscar, and later Manny, all phonies frauds to a degree, getting every advantage over a opponent beforehand. I guess big time stars that get their ass kissed to the moon and their short comings never get brought up is a revolving door in the sport, there is one every era....
