    Hearns is the best ever fighter to fight at 154 and Loma is better than Hamed was, MAB v Sanchez would have been a better featherweight fight or Pac v Sanchez.

    Usyk wouldn`t have been stopped by Thompson.

    Hearns v Benitez was one of the best scientific fights of all-time and Hamed was exposed by MAB.

    Loma is far more skilled than Hamed was.

    Calzaghe landed far more punches during his career stats wise overall than Eubank did and he pumped his jab more and with more accuracy, Ward beat Kov a better win than any on Eubank`s resume.

    Maybe not, but he also didn't face as big a cw puncher in his 11th fight even if he was facing world class opposition

    Better. Really. Think that is debatable.
    Rocchigiani I think could be argued
    Benn could be argued

    Benn admitted he didn`t fight well v Eubank and improved when he worked with Jimmy Tibbs at 168, he was far better in his rematch v Eubank.

    But he did face Joyce straight after Joyce won an olympic silver at heavyweight and boxed his ears off in an amateur tournament, Joyce hits far harder than the cruiserweight Thampson did, Usyk`s guard is far better than Haye`s was, he was wide open v Thompson.

    You are comparing amateur system to pros where one is more based on clean punches being scored. Very different.
    Take for example say Wilder who doesnt look to appear to look to try and win rounds but more to line up his finishing punches. Amateurs are looking to win rounds by scoring more clean punches.
    I dont know if Joyce hits harder than Thompson and I dont think Joyce was trying to throw big punches in an amateur fight with Usyk as one big punch as an amateur can be the same as 5 small less draining scoring shots.

    Joyce is no doubt a big strong puncher but I havent seen him score a bigger more emphatic KO than this below. Nothing comes to mind at first thought

    And??? Thats like any fighter saying they didnt fight well in a certain fight. Not relevant to your previous debate at all
