    I am looking over Tommy Hearns' record on boxrec and I don't see what is so great about him. He lost every big fight he's been in, namely Leonard and Hagler. And don't tell me about the win over Roberto Duran because that was at light middleweight.

    Cuevas? Benitez? Duran? Hill? Shuler? Resume holds up, beat champions in something like 5 weights.

    Watch him and look at his ability. I love the guys style.

    One of the hardest punchers of all time with an all time great jab, his skills combined with his size made him almost impossible to outbox. Won titles from welterweight to light heavyweight beating guys like Duran,Cuevas,Benitez and Hill along the way.

    A top 10 welterweight ever, arguably the best Jr Middle ever,an hall of famer and a legitimate All Time Great.
