Hearns beat Virgil Hill when Hill had 10 title defenses and he beat Cueves when Cueves had 10 title defenses, and he beat Wilfred Benitez when Wilfred had only one loss to Leonard. Knocked out Duran. ... My opinion is that Hearns is greater.. Just on the amount of great fighters he fought. Saying had Pryor not gotten into cocaine is not saying he is greater than Hearns. There are guys out there now who would have been great fighters but got into cocaine before even getting into the pros. Pryor is more of a case where we say he beat Arguello twice and Cervantes and look how much he could have done. Hearns is a case where he did fight everyone and we have those fights to rate him. We have more to rate Hearns by than Pryor. Potential wise Pryor would have had a great career had he just stayed clean. I would have loved to see him fight and beat Mancini. Rosario/Pryor would have been interesting. Duran/Pryor? I think Roberto takes Pryor.
