    Both men overcame a tough start to earn a knockout victory over a similarly great p4p opponent. But which scalp is worth more, a welterweight Hearns or a heavyweight Klitschko? I've spent years thinking about it.

    Klitschko is the better win Wlad is the greatest heavyweight of all time, he almost matched Louis title defense # and is the longest reigning heavyweight champ of all time but fought in a much stronger era too

    I just want to point out that I don't have and didn't have the options to make the votes public. I don't know if that's new or if it's directed at me but I honestly find that initial Wlad/Hearns poll so fascinating that I'm genuinely trying to contextualize what I find to be baffling, so, no need to censor me if you think I'm just trolling. I'm genuinely curious.

    "He's the greatest of all time, he was almost as good as that other guy"

    I'm twisting your words a little bit but I still thought it was funny so I did it anyway. I am unchained and free to engage in bad faith internet discourse now for sake making myself laugh. Fear my power.

    I hope this is just getting into the spirit of the thread rather than a genuine opinion?

    I would argue Puritty over Wlad. Mainly because you could reasonably expect Leonard to beat Hearns but Ross beating Wlad is off the radar. Ross took an absolute beating the entire night and hung in there for a very gritty win. Show some respect to the Boss.

    Joke of a question.

    And the green Hearns makes me think it s implying you the other answer but it backfired anyway.
