    A big 'If' though mate

    I still think Hearns was arguably more talented than any of them (maybe not Duran ) he just had a suspect beard and spiders legs.

    If fights were 12 rounds back then, he would've beaten Leonard, he was robbed in the rematch draw and he KOed Duran

    I agree, it's a shame he's viewd as that guy who lost all his big fights.

    Hehe, okay, IF Hearns hadn't had a homoerotic rub-down in the spider leg region, then proceded to brake his hand off Hagler's Jaw..... Maybe then it wouldn't be such a big IF

    Tua vs Lewis

    Tua came in ultra fat like every heavyweight I put my money on and lost on points. It's been a hard business for the short powerpunchers in boxing past few years.. When are we going to get another Tyson, Frazier, Patterson, or Tua?

    Tua's problem was that he was so one dimensional, it was embarrassing to watch.

    I was actually feeling sorry for him after 6 rounds.

    It is very difficult to answer to that question; That would change history in general or history of boxing? I've heard a lot of good calling there; Tyson-Duglas, Ali-Liston, Ali-Frasier III, Personally, I think that I would go with Foreman-Ali with rumble in the Jungle;

    BEcause it is one of the most important fights that did catapult Ali's career and because this fight was the one that did throw forward the career of Don King in the skies.. and we all know how that old fat bastard just by himself changed the history of boxing and I can't imagine how it would be now if it would have taken all another direction.
