He was the only fighter to consistently outbox Ray Leonard too
Hearns was the perfect boxer but he had that power and intent to destroy when he should have relied on his defensive boxing skills more. After he cut Hagler, he should have jabbed and fought long range.

BTW I think McCallum beat Toney the first two times they fought.
