    Hearns? Robinson? Burley?...Maybe even going back to Walcott?
    Or maybe someone like Flourentino Fernandez?
    What are the boards opinions...

    Walcott and Hearns might be the top two, and they would look comical next to each other.

    Of those I've seen at the weight, probably Cuevas.

    I say Hearns off the top of my head, where does Tito factor in here?

    I'll take Felix Trinidad's left hook over Cuevas's all day. Robinson and Hearns might be a 'clear sweep' top 2 all-time though.

    Hoya?

    He had iron chinned Quartey out on his feet. Forest couldn't even hurt Quratey and his punches nearly took Mosleys head clean off.

    You certainly got the tough question part right Mac. I might put SRR at 2, but wouldn't be able to make a strong case for it.

    I'd say the top 5 are:

    Hearns
    Walcott
    The white guy Walcott had a rivalry with
    Cuevas
    Mosley
