Who has done that?
No one here, if thats what you mean...

Actually worse, professional writers in boxing mags (Boxing Monthly/ News/ Weekly etc).

I f read on a number of occasions (Pre Shamba) that he was touted as the next Hearns.
I also heard Jim Watt refer to this during the Mayweather-Baldomir Build up, fortunately it was in a tottaly different light.


I dont wanna make a big thing out of calling PW overratted but its just funny cause i couldn't think of any overrated fighters a while ago.

Dont think i ever recall Tommy administering the kiss of Death on his opponent before icing them though
