Sugar Ray Leonard views Thomas Hearns rematch draw as a defeat

Sugar Ray Leonard

MORE than 18 years after his final fight, Sugar Ray Leonard still canโ€™t bring himself to relive the low points of his legendary career.
โ€œIโ€™m starting to watch some of my fights,โ€ he told Boxing News. โ€œI just finished watching the โ€˜No Masโ€™ fight with [Roberto] Duran, but I have yet to watch the fights that Iโ€™ve lost! Iโ€™ve not watched Terry Norris, Iโ€™ve not watched the full Duran I in years, I havenโ€™t watched [Thomas] Hearns II yet, and the [Hector] Camacho fight. Iโ€™ve yet to watch those.โ€
I remind Leonard that the controversial second Hearns fight in 1989 was a draw. He laughs.
โ€œI said, โ€˜Tommy, you won this one.โ€™โ€
