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 .
