I've long known of this great spaghetti legs KO, but I only recently learned that Pipino is a HOF boxer. I don't know much about him, but he appeared to be in his prime when he lost to the Hitman. You can see the full fight here:



This strikes be as an extremely important part of Hearn's legacy. Is it me or has history minimized the importance of this fight in comparison to the SRL, Hearns, and Duran bouts?

This means Hearns had 2 of the most dominating performances, against a prime or near-prime HOFer, in Boxing history. And both Pipino and Duran had great chins. The most dominating, imo, was Foreman over a red-hot-prime Frazier.

Thats quite an accomplishment: 2 dominating KOs against HOFers in their prime. Who else can make that claim?
