    Lets just assume that Floyd will win his last 4 fights against ex. Garcia, Khan, Alexander & Thurman.

    Who wil then have the better resume.

    For real? Hearns was champ for like 10 years and fought much better opponent.

    By that logic Buster Douglas is a top 15 HW?

    So you're saying that Hearns should get credit for fighting Hagler and zero criticisms or fallback for losing the fight? Does that also apply to Iran Barkley?

    If that's the case than Jerry Quarry, Jimmy Ellis, and Ross Purrity need to be included in more top 15 HW lists.

    To me resumes don't just go by who you fight and who the top 3 or 4 fighters you fought were.

    He didn't ask who the better fighter was, just the better resume. Hearns has the better resume by far.

    Only if you put 90% of the stock of a fighters' resume on only their top 5 opponents faced.
