Who was better....

[GAME]

Its gotta be Leonard cuz he beat em all !

If they fought 12 round fights back then, then Hearns would've won a comfortable decision against SRL first time - and we all know what happened the 2nd time.

Mind you if my Aunty had bollox sh'ed be my uncle

Going back to the Duran argument. Anybody who thinks Duran is overrated and doesn't deserve his place on the all time p4p list has only watched him on Boxrec You can only tell so much on paper!

Have a look and see how many of the most respected boxing experts/writers/pundits don't have Duran top 10 all time p4p. I don't think you'll find 1!

I guess you're referring to me, since I don't see anyone else raising issues about Duran's exalted status.

Obviously has only watched him on Boxrec? OK dude if you say so. I've seen him plenty, but you go ahead and say what you want. Sure a boxer's record isn't everything, but it's a lot, unless you will tell me it doesn't count for a lot? I suppose you watched many many of his fights, and others, and done your own careful analysis? When you give your props to Calzaghe, what do you go on if it aint his record?

btw I never said he wasn't great, I only questioned whether or not he was that much greater than others who never get ranked as high. And I can give a lot of reasons based on fights they've won and lost, titles they've defended, etc. And I choose not to say yeah Duran must be top 5 just because a lot of people in the business say he is, but you go ahead and do that if you want.

Top 10 ain't too far out of line tho.

Records are like numbers; they don't lie. SRL beat both Tommy and Hagler.

I wasn't specifically referring to you, this is an age old debate that has gone on for years on here and that's what I was referring to.
