Yeah... It's crazy how big of a star Leonard was in my earliest memories. In the early 80s, he seemed to me to be as big a star as anyone in sports... Then later I still remember what a big deal it was when he came back and beat (maybe) Hagler.... But like all of them, he stuck around too long. I still remember cringing when he fought De La Hoya.
