Are you suggesting he punked out against Leonard? Laughable if you are.
Marvin expected Leonard to stand there and fight, which was always stupid, Marvin wasn't the smartest man in the world, certainly not compared to Leonard. He also probably figured Leonard would fade badly and he would be able to stop him, again, he was wrong, Leonard had enough left to avoid Hagler during the last 3 rounds.
a tactical fighter, he tried to box
a boxer. for sure he did not "fight
to the death".
of course he was not afraid of ray.
but he did many things wrong,
beginning with coming out as an
orthodox fighter.
