Don't make me do one of those for Mayweather and make anyone who voted for Hearns feel pretty dumb...

 

hearns by far!!!!!! benitez, leonard, duran, hagler...pleaseee niggggaaaaaaaaaa

3 top 20 all time greats and at leats at top 75 with wilfredo benitez.

 

Who else after those guys?

 

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.

 

real close imo but mayweather for me unless he starts losing to guys he shouldn't have like hearns did

 

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.

 

if mayweather would have faced the same quality of fighter hearns did...he woud have a x on his record.
