Which fighters have the most neutral fans?

Tommy Hearns are mostly excellent.

 

Honestly I don't think anyone isn't a Tommy Hearns fan. His style and mentality just draws people to him.

 

I don't like Hearns. Well, I don't not like him, I just don't like him either. Just a bit... Meh. A fantastic fighter who is subject to a fair bit of overrating by some.

 

Maybe I was a bit broad, I should have said...Noone hates Tommy Hearns. He can be overrated if one simply looks at him in a head to head sense, but if you factor in his career (that brings him down a peg or two) then he sits usually in a good spot.

 

I think Frazier is great and that he is top 3 alltime for excitement in heavies and for me the exciting factors means almost more than any.

 

Floyd Patterson. A class act whose record needs not be boosted or put down.

 

joe louis. maybe to fully appreciate him you need quite a good understanding of the sport. probably filters a lot of people out.

 

People who like Ezzard Charles always seem to know their ****(except for goat15)

 

ike williams.

 

:happy

 

No one seems to go over board on Jose Napoles on either negative or positive aspects. Seems like this board has a good grip on his best wins and they hold the Monzon loss in perspective too.

 

Julian Jackson

 

Holyfield fans are mostly level-headed. Tunney ones aren't too dilusional, though there's hardly any on here.

 

Hearns neither overachieved or underachieved. While still a teenage contender, he was projected as a potential four division champion (an awesome expectation to place on somebody so young), and easily could have fallen short of the mark. He actually did measure up to those early predictions as early as 1987, officially making the books as the first four division champion that year, and five division crown winner in 1988. Remarkably, he was only dethroned twice as a defending champion, both times by Iran Barkley. (SRL-Hearns I was a title unification, not strictly a title defense, per se.)
