http://www.modernmartialartist.com/downloads/footwork-wins-fights/ After avenging his one and only loss against Roberto Duran, Leonard set his eyes on a new competitor. A fighter who could box with skill and nuance, but also hit like a freight train. A man with a four inch reach advantage and an undefeated record at 32 wins, 30 by knockout. That man was the legendary Thomas the Hitman Hearns.
Hearns was imposing, but Leonard had something to prove. Many saw Ray as still untested, seeing his second fight with Duran not so much as a victory for Leonard, as a disgrace for Duran.

And Hearns saw an opportunity for an easy win over a big name. A knockout could propel him into the public eye and cement him as one of the most iconic boxers of the era, and he expected to make easy work of Sugar Ray.
