    Its like your lost. Look at who was around when Hearns was fighting.
    You have literally LEGENDS of the sport.......and your going to compare that to ordinary competition that Wlad beat ?
    That's like saying Serrano was much better then ALEXIS ARGUELLO because he reigned for 6 years and had 13 successful defençes and Arguello didnt.

    Benitez WAS better then anyone Wlad beat. There is no ifs about it.

    You mean to tell me you don't rate the great Samuel Peter in your top of the best boxers of all time?

    shame on you sir, shame on you.

    Ross Purity ? Corrie Sanders ? Lamont Brewster ? Any of those ring any bells for you ?
    Nobody ever stopped a young Hearns unless they were an all time great boxer.

    Barkley was a three time world champion.
    Was Purity ?? Sanders ? Brewster ?
    Jesus Sanders at the time he laid out Wlad was essentially a part time boxer.

    Barkely would be a zero defense single time champion who only took a belt off Van Horn if not for Hearns.
