Hello everyone.
After a controversial loss to Sugar Ray Leonard, he refused a rematch and retired for good. His biography shows a fighter who never backed down, yet he walked away despite many believing he deserved another shot. Was he simply frustrated with the decision? Tired of boxing politics?
Or did he feel he had already proven himself and didn’t need to fight again? Some say he won, others say Leonard outsmarted him—would a rematch have changed his legacy, or was retiring the best choice? What do you think was the real reason behind his decision?
