[tuckwopat]

At this point in there careers, a prime Hearns would take both Wright and Taylor. How about SRL vs. Taylor or Wright?

SRL in his prime was just too sweet! He old schools the sh#& out of both of them, imo!

to fast and too slick...besides Taylor isn't as dominating a puncher as Hagler and Winky isn't as slick as Hearns(nor does he have that lights out power of Hearns either)....SRL whips both of them....next question.....

SRL got gift decisons against Hagler and Hearns (second time). Say what you like, I will go to my deathbed believing that.

Every time I see the fights, nthing changes my tiny little mind.

Oh, I see - sorry about that. I misunderstood you to be saying that SRL whips Hagler and Hearns, when what you are saying is that he whips Winky and Taylor?

humble aplogies - I agree with you, in that case!!

I still have to disagree I am one of those people (who I hate to say it, but I am right) THat technology gets, better people are faster, stronger, and bigger than they've ever been, and IMO I can't see the fantastic four sticking up to even the best guys nowadays.

Its not as if these guys fought in the 1920's or something. This was the 80's, and its not like the heavies where the weights have changed. Even Taylor's trainer Emmanuel Steward said that Hearns was still much better than Taylor.

teath,, how can you ask who has Hearns fought who was a boxer?? Hearns fought Benitez and Leonard and Hill. 3 of the best boxers in the last 20 years. And he outboxed Hill and Benitez easily. You don't think he would outbox Winky? Winky is good only because of the lesser quality of guys now. I think Hearns would have had an easy fight with Winky and outboxed him. I do not think Tommy would have knocked him out, I just think Tommy outboxes him and wins an easy decision. Among all the great fighters, Hearns has probably the best resume of anyone. asking who has Hearns fought proves you are not from the Hearns era. You are obviously in your 20s and don't remember Tommy. The man was lean and fast and powerful. You youngsters should study tapes..

Well Ice Cold. I did not mean you but thanks for answering. Sounds like you know alot about boxing. You study alot of old tapes? I have been watching alot on youtube. Man there are alot of them on there now. Alot of Hagler and Hearns and Duran and Leonard.

same here mate someone had some good videos on myspace dwight vs holyfield greatest cruiserweight and some real classics shame he took them off

[LegendBoxing65]

I saw that fight live the Holyfield/Qawi. And at the time I was just 21 years old I think (1986?),, and I thought Holyfield fought great but I thought he would never recover-since I thought he put too much out and would be finished. He fought his heart out and I think he only had 12 fights at the time. Shows you how alot of boxing is mental.
