Of course boxers from the past are overrated. Any one man sport is going to have all the previous champions overrated, it's easy for people to view them as heroes through rose tinted glasses and think of 'the better times'.

Hearns would whip every welter weight's ass in this era but mainly bc he have a LHW frame, heavyweight reach and LHW power. Too bad he got a JWW chin.

p4p SRL was a better fighter.
