ATG: Who ranks higher? Hearns or Hopkins?

My thoughts and more. :good

 

This is flat ****ing stupid. Hopkins, and it shouldn't even be close. Not even close to close.

 

hearns

 

Hearns without a doubt

 

Care to explain how it's ****ing stupid and not even close ? I think you're a ****ing ******, to be so dogmatic.

 

Ya Buddy!!!! I love that highlight reel. I watch that **** once a week, AT LEAST!!!

 

H2H Hopkins is not a good match up for Hearns. But I still rank Tommy higher as ATG.

 

I voted Bhop surprised hes so far behind on the poll, H2H its a bad style matchup for Tommy because Hopkins could bang at middleweight,iron chin and great defensivly wheres Tommy wasnt to good At 160 on Resume Hearns is superior.

 

Hearns he's a top 30 ATG.

 

So is Hopkins.Top 30 ATG I mean.

 

Matter of opinion, I have neither in my top 30.

 

In terms of ability, I think Hearns surpasses B-Hop. Let's not foget that Hearns had absurd power throughout his career, as well as tremendous speed which he proved against accomplished defensive fighters like Benitez and a boxing ability that was almost unsurpassed. I mean, he actually outboxed Ray Leonard when they were both in their primes, and arguably did it again when they were both over the hill. Hopkins is a crafty guy, but I think Hearns' raw eliteness is probably a cut above, both P4P and H2H.

In terms of legacy, many will point to Hopkins' long, undisputed run as MW champ as surpassing Hearns, who - supposedly - flopped on the nights where it counted. Still, outboxing a prime Wilfred Benitez over 15 with a broken hand, blowing away Cuevas in 2 and winning titles at 6 weights is no mean feat. Let's not forget that Hopkins also has losses.

My vote goes to Tommy.
