Good interview with Sugar Ray Leonard on Sky's Ringside programme the other day . Talking about those classic fights with Duran , Hagler , Benitez & Hearns .

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Sun Apr 01, 2012 2:56 pm  

I've never liked Leonard I'm more of a Duran, Hagler, and Pryor fan. I don't like the way Leonard denied Hagler a fight for so long (and when he did I thought he was lucky to get the decsion) and the fact that he wouldn't fight Aaron Pryor. I admire his ability and I'd probably rate him top 20 all time, but never had much time for him as a person. Maybe I'll change my mind when I get round to reading the book.

Groves to fight for WBO title on May 5th in Gemany. http://www.boxingscene.com/stieglitz-vs-groves-clash-on-5th-erfurt-germany--51336 This is a big risk, but not unwinable. I hope he can do it.

Must admit i think that Price would knock him out on the evidence we have seen so far but Fury seems to be boxing within himself. A bigger challenge could bring out the best in him.

Fury as the look of a Audley Harrison in him......He looks a bit scared when an opponent actually goes to throw a punch - I get the feeling a good, orthodox boxer like Pryce would take him apart.

Of course, Price's chin as not been tested yet, so that's a bit of the unknown to throw into the mix, but for me, Fury just looks stiff and amateurish, and will soon be exposed as he steps up to meet better opponents.
