Hearns had more perseverance than Pryor and lived better. Give him credit for that. The man was determined.
Hearns lost to who? Leonard and Hagler, and those fights were great. There is still Cueves,Benitez,Duran, Hill and Barkley on that record, and the second fight with Leonard. Pryor beat up on a smaller guy in Arguello and Cervantes is sort of a legend. Hearns fought and beat legends. It is a no-brainer who is the greater fighter. Hearns fight clips are legendary. Pryor's film clip is one fight.
But hearns lost to thise greats in his biggest moments in the sun and Pryor beat Arguello and Cervantes in only his second fight at that weight didn't he?
