Great list.
Can add Kid Gavilan, Ezzard Charles, Nigel Benn and Oscar de la Hoya to the list.
Not many WW but more MW and LHW would just because of their size and weight.
Nigel Benn would have been knocked down. But look out once he got back up :cool:
Definitely. I think most fighters on the list would have been knocked down but their heart and recuperative abilities would have helped them see the end of the round.

How could anyone forget Iran Barkley? He beat Hearns twice.

I was suprised nobody mentioned that sooner: Barkley did take those shots and kod Hearns at least as dramatically as did Hagler. And Doug DeWitt. Watch the 2nd round of his fight with Hearns.

I'm going to have to look that up now.
Doug DeWitt is the definition of the word: TOUGH.

Remember Benn taking DeWitt out, a face only a Mother could love one tough SOB.!;)
Re: Could ANY other welter/middle/LH have taken Hearns' shots in round 1 that hagler
DeWitt was a character. Hardly any amateur background, but he had a pretty good left hand when he chose to use it, but often (like against McCrory) he'd just eat punches. Never down or hurt until, in an ESPN fight he was dominating, he walked into a right hand and went out. After that, he was a little shaky.

Dewitt put benn down early and Benn only finsihed him after a body shot.
