Hello everyone.
After a controversial loss to Sugar Ray Leonard, he declined a rematch and retired permanently. His biography showcases a fighter who thrived on challenges, yet he chose to walk away instead of settling the debate. Was it frustration with the judges? A decision to leave behind boxing politics?
Or did he feel his legacy was already secure? Some argue he won, while others believe Leonard’s strategy was enough to take the victory. Would a rematch have changed anything, or was retiring the best choice?
