    Hearns has lightening in his right. SRR has TNT in both hands.

    He does John! Those right hand body shots Ray threw looked like they'd cut a tree in half...ouch.

    The Ring's big lists over the last few decades have been appaling.

    Khaosai Galaxy one of the greatest of the last 80 years? :patsch

    Julian Jackson outside the top 20 punchers list? :patsch

    Hearns was bigger and probably more explosive so I think he certainly a bigger hitter. Robinson has the better left hook and probably the better stamina to keep delivering his punches throughout the fight

    If it can be secincetificly measured. I beleve we'd find the taller longer Hearns hits with more power than Robinson.

    Robinson could knock out Norton :lol:



    I keed, obviously. but there are fights that baffle me....like the Barkley fights for Hearns. SURELY with that power you could get him out of there when you hit him that much. Different night different fight.

    Shavers couldn't knock out Keed. Nor would a prime, 220 LB Marquez.
