Chavez or Hearns? Who would be the mainevent in the 2011 IBHOF Induction

I dunno, probably Hearns.

 

Chavez most likely, but Hearns was awesome.

 

He might not. With all his friends fighting he might feel a little left out. Happens with fighters. In someway when Hearns seemed to lose motivation was when Leonard and Duran and Hagler were not fighting anymore in the limelight. They seem to need their buddies there to compete against. Their contemporaries. I think Morales will comeback but he put so much into the ring I am not sure he has anything left to win another belt at a high level.

 

Chavez' last fight was 05 - Isn't he elligible next year?

 

maybe tyson is also eligible for 2011...that makes it a triple mainevent..

chavez, hearns and tyson

 

who knows? mike tyson may just stole the show from chavez and hearns...i missed it, he is also eligible for 2011 induction

 

There is no one... I repeat no one in modern boxing who has the noteriety of Mike Tyson...


Everyone knows him. You got bitches who ain't never seen't a boxing match who know Mike Tyson, and his reputation for knockin fools the **** out...

He was at one time the most recognizable man on the planet. (Time Magazine)

 

JCC>Tyson

 

but mean tyson would be the focus of all the camera but there with be a lot of mexicans inside and outside the venue...what a night would that be...hearns,chavez and tyson

 

OK... you can't have it both ways...

If you're talking about boxing accomplishments in the ring... You're right.
But if you're talking about world-wide notoriety and legend... Tyson is the king. No one since Ali is more synonymous with boxing than Mike Tyson.

Same thing with Hearns and JCC.

If you're talking in the ring. Hearns was the better fighter, who had a better record aginst champions and other ATG's. But if you're talking legend and notoriety, then JCC trumps Hearns.

 

I agree about Tyson being more famous. But you're forgetting a JCC fight in Vegas was a big deal. White people would wear sombreros to go see him fight. When he was 6754675 and 0, JCC was a ****ing superstar. I'd say Oscar is the only fighter more famous than Tyson.
As for Hearns being a better fighter, I can't agree.

 

Oscar ain't more famos than Mike Tyson.


No one is more famous than Mike Tyson worldwide. Only Ali. You can take that **** to the bank homey....


I ain't tryin to disrespect Oscar, but seriously man. Mike Tyson? You got little Japanese kids talkin bout Iron Mike and "Punchout"

 

You're worse Hearnstard than any *******. You are the Silvermags of Tommy Hearns :nut

 

You sound so ghetto. I bet you're a 5' 5 Asian guy, knobbobbinaiken.

5'5" Asian guy???

You guys kill me with your internet psychoanalysis. It's so funny it's ridiculous. 5'5" Asian guy? :nut
