    Hearns. Not by a huge margin though. Close but clear.

    For now I'd have to say hearns. If floyd does what he needs to in his comeback(Marquez, Pac, Mosely, Cotto) and is still unblemished, i'd have to tip my hat to floyd.

    At the present, Hearns. If Floyd takes care of business he passes him clearly.

    Not by a huge margin? Hearns took bigger risks and has bigger wins.....these 2 names shouldn't even be breathed together

    sure his chin failed him a few times but, The fact that he even kept taken the risks he did is admirable in itself..

    Hearns and it ain't close

    I voted too close to call because.... well... it is.

    Hearns has the better names on his record but Mayweather is more talented.... but Floyd has good names too & Tommy is also extremely talented.

    Mayweather will likely pull away before he`s done, we`ll see.

    Hearns. Hes a warrior and im sure he regrets it. His broken nose never healed properly he cant speak very well anymore and his last time out he broke his ankle throwing a punch. ATG for sure. Too bad he cant enjoy it when its all said and done.

    PBF is just one loss away from being in the same level as trinidad

    Mayweather is more talented?? I disagree. Hearns outboxed peak SRL for the majority of their first fight, proved to be a magnificent offensive boxer against Benitez, Cuevas and Duran, and carried his power and ability up through the weights. He has proven to have more skill/ability/talent than Floyd. Sure Floyd has looked good against the likes of Corrales and Hatton, but that does not equate to proving your skills against Hearns's comp.

    But then again, Floyd has a zero and fights in a slick style, so he must be more talented/skilled really.
