Sugar Ray Leonard -vs- Dicky Ecklund (boxer played by Christian Bale in The Fighter)

[Billy Costigan]

Do you think Dicky Ecklund (the boxer turned crack addict portrayed by Christian Bale in an Academy Award winning performance in The Fighter) should have credit for his claim to fame with the knock down on Sugar Ray Leonard?

Well it wasn't a trip or a slip. It was some form of a knock down. Plus at the time it counted as knock down.

And it matters as much as the Royals beating the Red Sox in May. Ecklund was a club fighter who got put down 3 times.

Pretty much nothing we discuss on this site really matters.

He pushed him.

Dicky Eklund moved really well. He was a good boxer. If he could have avoided the drug problems, he would have had a nice career.
