Benn didn't carry his firepower up to SM and his records reveals everything you need to know. Even as a middle weight, in true world class company, he wasn't nearly as devastating as say Jackson or Mcellen. Not even in the same ballpark.

Hearns hit harder than Norris did at JR middle, no question. And the gold toothed swaggering Mexican Oliveres is a must inclusion.
Duran knocked out guys over 30 pounds above where he started, he's included. He also made Leonard forget about 4 rounds of their first fight with one left hook, Hearns wasn't ever able to do anything like that. Also about Nigel Benn watch him against McClellan again, he was easily hitting as hard as Gerald.
