    I wasn't aware that 150 was a weight division?

    Obviously the David Diaz win is fantastic. :roll:

    Oscar De La Hoya should be somewhere near the top.

    true. Hagler took a gamble and swung for the fences and Thomas joined in. Tommy was in a way the biggest winner ever and then the biggest loser as far as big fights. His career was different than most. But he did fight the best. Even when he was older he outboxed Hill and won a UD. Had Duran beaten a guy who was undefeated and had 10 title defenses and 5 years younger like Hill was people would say he was the greatest fighter who ever lived. Tommy does it and people say well he still lost to Ray and Marvin in his biggest fights.

    Guys, Hearns and Pacquiao don't belong in this conversation. Just ignore their fans trolling.

    I could go on about a lot of fighters, but a few come to mind. Ali, (who imo fought the toughest comp of any fighter) Saddler, Greb, Leonard, Burley, Ike Williams, Marvin Johnson, Saad Muhammad, Spinks, Mosley, Sanchez (for the short time he was boxing) are just a few that come off of the top of my head.

    I personally don't give a ****. Hearns at 147/154 was arguably the most unique fighter in history. His physical dimensions and attributes were freakish, his boxing skill unmatched and power almost unparalled. He could :bbb or :!: your head off just the same and equally effective. At 147 over 12 rounds, he beats SRL 9/10 times. Over 15, they go 50/50. Robinson is the only in history who gets a slight nod as a favorite H2H IMO.

    The fact is that he didn't beat SRL buddy.

    Hearns has a really good resume, but it feels like he's lacking that one key win that would of cemented it as ATG.

    Hearns beat hall of fame fighter when they were champions which was unheard ofand you mention Mosley? He didn't beat a Duran level or a Benetiz level fighter? Sanchez? Talk about trolling. Spinks had 29 fights in his whole career. He fought Holmes 2 times when Larry was old and Qawi was great, but no one compared with THomas Hearns legacy and resume!!!!! Marvin Johnson? Pops? Why not put in there Dennis Andries. Hey Doug Dewitt had a great resume also if you want to mention Pops Johnson.

    Hearns definitely doesn't have the greatest resume of all-time, but you really lump him with Pacquiao? :?

    I think he has many key wins. I just think the Hagler and Ray losses overshadow them. Duran,Benitez,Cuevas,Hill were all champions when he beat them. Hearns had a great resume!!!! Too bad his ability to take a punch didnt match his punching power!!!! Hearns is considered ATG but I think he is almost underrated now!!!! The man fought 23 world champions and was in 19 world title fights.

    and for Manny. Manny didn't have Hearns resume but he was close also. What Hearns had over Manny was wins over champions in their weight at when they were champs. Manny deserves credit for Barrera,Marquez,Morales,Cotto,Margarito,Mosley,Delahoya. I don't think that compares to Cuevas,Benitez,Leonard,Hagler,Duran,Hill but it is still great!!!

    I cannot get over this trolling poster who says I troll!!! Sanchez compares with Thomas Hearns and Manny Pac? Marvin Johnson??? Mosley? Spinks had great competition but you cannot compare Saad Muhammad to or Johnson to a Hearns superfighter level. Sanchez just was not around that long. Why didn't you put Pryor in your list.
