ATG: Who Ranks Higher? Pacman or Hitman?

Hearns is waay better than Pacquiao and his resume tells you that ... he went all the way up to cruiserweight ... and won a minor world title and competed ... he also won a welterweight, super welterweight, middleweight, super middleweight, and light heavyweight title.

He fought more fighters who was the best of his era ... had more title fights ... overall was a better fighter ... wasn't sheltered ... never ducked anyone ...

Leonard
Duran
Benitez
Barkley
Hagler

those names alone kill every fighter on Pacquiao's resume and those guys were still at the top of their game when he fought them.

Leonard is one of the greatest of all times and stands in a category seperate from anyone on Pac's resume (exception DLH)

 

Hearns no question. His resume is better than Pac.

 

Hearns had more big fights over a longer period of time, if Pac has the time he will become even bigger that he is now, but something that that takes time. It's not a fair question.

 

any old timer with over 100 + fights

any old timer who's held more than 1 division world championship

any new generation fighter with more than 20 title fights ....

any new generation fighter who's had atleast 15 title defenses

any old time with more than 15 title defense

any new generation fighter who's fought more than 10 champions

any new generation fighter who's still undefeated

This guys 2 divisions were based on fighting 3 fighters ...

Hearns moved up the hard way and fought hall of famers.

 

Pound for pound and resume wise, Pacquiao or they're about even.

 

I voted along racial lines.

 

holy **** this is getting out of hand on here. the boxing world is being bamboozled into thinking Pac is the greatest thing since sugar ray robinson. never in my life did i expect to see a poll on espn with people saying pac is a betterboxer than mayweather and now this....blasphemy! hearns is a ****ing legend and his resume is sickening

 

**** pac is in the top 100 ATG deffo

i would love to see ur list :yep

 

You have the intellegence of meat.

 

Did Ray Robinson make your top 10 list? C'mon guy. I'll listen to your argument as to why Hearns is better than Pacquiao but don't say Pac isn't top 100. That just nullifies any argument you may have.

 

Hearns was knocked out by Hagler, Barkley and Leonard. He got a draw against a well-passed it Leonard (which was really a win). Just because you fight someone and get smoked, it doesn't help your resume all that much. Archie Moore fought Muhammad Ali [he was ancient], does anyone count that for Archie?

Hearns' biggest win is over Roberto Duran who was 3 divisions above his best weight, almost a decade past his best, and was giving up 6" in height and a FOOT in reach. His win over Benitez is good.

Whereas Pacquiao has won all of his biggest fights except for Morales I. Most by knockout. In 10-15 years, people will reflect and realise how great Pacquiao is. Fighters are never appreciated as they should be when they're active. It's always about how great the "old" fighters were, and how modern fighters don't compare. That happens every generation.

It's close, but Pacquiao gets it for the fact that he has won his biggest fights. Hearns is like [a greater version of] Oscar De La Hoya, he fought everyone in multiple classes... but lost when it mattered (except Oscar DID beat Tito :yep).

 

By all means chief, tell of this "sickening" resume.

Hagler? Oh no, that's a loss.
Leonard? He was doing well, but nope... getting KO'd doesn't help your case.
Oh I know, Barkley? Ah... no... again.
Benitez? Great close win!
Duran? Massive name, shocking matchup. Still a great win.

Proceed...

 

You should have had a `too close to call` option just as there was on the Floyd/Hearns poll... I voted that one in that poll & would do the same in this poll.

:good

 

The fact that you have a picture of Marquez in your profile makes it pretty clear that you are going to be biased against Manny Pac.
