This is very true, Hearns seems like a real good guy, never any excuses with Hearns.... and yes, Leonard deserved the decision vs Hagler, close fight tho.

[Bonecrusher]

Always been a Hearns guy followed very closely by Hagler...

Holmes and Hagler came from the same cloth. Two blue-collared fighters who had no Olympic gold medal and fought for peanuts on undercards early in their careers. Both champions for 7 years. And when they were defeated, they never accepted it.

In my opinion, Hagler and Holmes, were clearly beaten when they lost their titles. Close but clear.

I think Hagler probably should have retained his title with a draw. Never feels really right that a title should change hands in such a close fight. An immediate rematch should always be offered, though.

It feels right to me. If its by a large margin or a small margin, so be it. Judges can't change their scores at the end of the fight if the challenger happens to win by lets say.....1 point on 2 cards and 2 points on the other.

Close fights happen. It's just the way some fights are.

@Robbi...Who do you believe really won the fight?

Hearns was the one who made the decade since he was different than the others. He had a great punch and made the fights exciting and was the equation. Without him Duran,Leonard and Hagler and Benitez would have been Delahoya and Tito and all that.

Thats a bold statement my man!...Considering both Leonard and Haglar beat him...What Hearns did to Duran, well lets just say Roberto doesnt remember that fight...And Benitez has no sway in this conversation

[TheSouthpaw]

@Cassius..What do you base this on?...If you havent noticed not too many people put Hearns #1 in the fab four...Dont get me wrong hes my personal fav outa the bunch..But to say eonard or Haglar wouldnt have had a career without him is just stinkin thinkin my man...

[beefman180]

Hearns. I'm a sucker for Boxer/Punchers and fighters with great jabs and well...that was Hearns in a nutshell.

Hagler close second, I like Leonard and Duran about equally.

[TheSouthpaw]

@Beefman..I got Duran and Leonard at about equals too..
