Elmer, I think you must have missed this post in another thread. I have a mission for you, if you choose to accept it. I want you to watch one thing. Leonard's footwork. Nothing else. Not Duran, not either fighter's punches. And do it for just six minutes.

I want you to watch the first round of the second fight - remember, just watching Leonard's footwork.

Then watch the first round of the first fight - again, just Leonard's footwork.

The last part of your mission is to report back here your findings on Leonard's footwork in an UNBIASED way. What is the difference in the two fights?

Please remember the mission is only about Leonard's footwork, so please don't mention Duran. If you are unbiased, then you can do this.

I have seen those two fights plenty of times. In the first fight, the great Sugar Ray Leonard's footwork was fighting flatfooted like he always fights. Moving side to side to measure the great Manos de Piedra. It was good footwork to say the least.

In the second time around, Sugar Ray was more quicker on his feet by moving in circles and dancing around, using the jab well. It was some great footwork there, no lie.

So you are saying that Leonard fought flat footed in the first fight and that he was much faster on his feet in the second fight.

So Leonard fought a different fight in the second fight?

This is like pulling teeth.
