    So u R somewhat more than just a casual fan , a wrong choice of words on my part , u r a follower of d sport . Still there's a difference between following d sport , which i believe u do more than i , and knowing its history since b4 u started following . Watching every "fab 4" fight 3 times doesn't make even a mediocre historian out of 1 , just like skipping their majority due 2 knowing d facts behind them doesn't reduce 1 2 being a mediocre historian of d sport . Understand ?
    Bradley was competitive with Manny , yes . But avoiding contact at all cost (including not landing 1's punches) is not making d other 1 looking like n amateur . Arguably Whitaker wasn't competitive against Ramirez . D sport is not just about not getting hit , it's also about hitting , which Whitaker did not do more than getting hit . Whitaker hadn't "boxed circles" , he fled in all sorts of ways and did no damage while doing so .
    Regarding Hearns , i rank him somewhere near where i rank Barkley , slightly below Robbie Sims , Michael Nunn and Sumbu Kalambay i guess .


    Well that just does it!!! The guy's a freaking genius!
    He ranks Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns below the great Robbie Sims.

    Robbie Sims' highlights:

    • Lifetime 38-10-2 record.
    • Lost to Bobby Czyz.
    • Beat a young Iran Barkley (7-1) in 1984.
    • Beat an over-the-hill Roberto Duran (79-6) in 1986.
    • Toward the end of his career, he fought the following notables:
      • Robert "Vindaloo" Curry (19-29)
      • Dennis "The Menace" Johnson (14-19)
      • Keheven Johnson (23-29-2)
    How in the world can ANYONE dispute this genius' rankings??

    Oh wait..... I forgot...... Sims was the half-brother of "Marvelous Marvin Hagler". And we all know what Hagler did to Hearns. Ergo, Sims must be ranked above Hearns. The genius of it all!!

    He lost by decision 2 Bobby Czyz @ 160 , but Czyz was much younger and fresher than when he fought Holyfield , and Sims was not Holyfield's size . Remember Czyz went on 2 become d lightheavyweight champion of d world , with some successful defenses of his title .
    Czyz also was/is n intelligent man and was big and strong 4 a middleweight .
    Sims KOd Iran Barkley , d same Iran Barkley whom stopped Hearns and later beat him again .
    Sims also outpointed Roberto Duran . It was 3 years b4 Duran went on 2 beat Barkley .
    Sims also gave Hearns a tough fight . It's more than what Robero Duran can say .
    Then he went 12 rds against Kalambay . Not a great feat in itself , but it certainly does enhance his resume , and since i haven't watched that fight yet , i doubt if Kalambay deserved that win since it was in Italy .
    Hearns was a popular fighter , not a really great 1 . It's ignorant ppl like yourself who consider him a great . Hearns was good , but being so big 4 1's division but still managing 2 lose by stoppage more than 1ce , and then by decision 2 1 of d men who stopped him does not prove greatness .
