It should be noted that the 2nd fights decision was very controversial, as most felt Hearns clearly won that fight. In fact, Sugar Ray Leonard has even stated publicly that he gives their second fight to Tommy.

First to Five?[edit]

Quote from the article: "The victory made Leonard the first boxer to win titles in five weight divisions."

This is inconsistent with the info in List of boxing quintuple champions, which has Thomas Hearns three days ahead of Leonard. I don't know enough about this myself to judge which is correct, but thought it bears pointing out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by OMHalck (talk • contribs) 10:03, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
