I can see your point, but boxing is different to many other sports, as there isn't that partisan nature to it, whereby you're set in your ways for life.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:I'm shocked how many people love Leonard & hearns. I can only assume that's mostly people that weren't around for the rivalry. Respect everywhere, but I didn't know anyone that cheered for all 4 of the kings.
I myself loved both Hearns & Leonard; they were both remarkable fighters that have made the sport of boxing a pleasure to watch.
I must admit, I was more of a Leonard person when they were fighting, but during the passage of time, I have come to appreciate Hearns more & now am actually more of a fan of his now, even though I still retain admiration for Leonard.
I'm also similar when it comes to Ali & Frazier.
