Hello everyone.
After a controversial decision loss to Sugar Ray Leonard, he refused a rematch and retired permanently. His biography reflects a fearless fighter, yet he chose to walk away instead of seeking redemption. Was it frustration with the judges? A dislike for boxing politics? Or did he believe he had already accomplished everything?
Some argue he won, while others believe Leonard’s strategy was too effective. Would a rematch have settled the debate, or was retiring the best move?
What do you think truly influenced his decision to leave the sport for good?
