Take Tommy Hearns; sure the fights with Leonard (fight one) Duran, Hagler, Shuler and Andries were superb in their own way; but nothing personifies Hearns' Greatness than the redemption he got in the Leonard rematch.

Sure officially it was a draw, but everyone involved in that fight, including Leonard, knows who really won.
i know what you mean, but tbh Hearns did not beat him convincingly.....He almost got knocked out in the 12th round and 5th.
Hearns was lucky to make it out of the fight, but you're right he did win on points....
But he certainly was the worse for ware
No doubt it was a damn close fight, but all the rounds were very easy to score, one way or the other, and IMO, 113/112 to Tommy should have been the scorecard on all three judges, it was that obvious...
