    That's better.

    Duran wasn't exactly young against Hearns either.

    Mayweather not fighting the best in their prime will always be a black mark in my opinion so yes of course I rate Hearns above him. good enough example for ya?

    So you don't give Floyd credit for guys like Cotto or Mosley but you give Duran credit for Barkley? :huh

    Duran won titles at 154 and 160 and was a champion at junior middleweight when he fought Hearns! Marquez was not champ at 147. And DUran is Duran. Marquez is a joke who lost to john@!!! Hearns is greater. Mayweather can't shine his shoes although I am sure all the young guys in their 20s will say maywather is greater since they dont remember Hearns era!!!!!

    Money is a much better and disciplined athlete! Hearns style lends to more excitement and an era with more exciting fighters that's the disparity!

    or Hearns win over Benitez, or Cueves or Virgil Hill 30 pounds above his weight. Or the great fights he was in. This one is obvious who is greater.
