    Just remind me of grazianos height,reach and weight.
    Then compare that with a man who is 6ft tall,and won world titles up to lt heavy. (and in fact competed at hevyweight eventually.)
    Lets say graziano is more of a roldan than a barkley.
    Im not necessarily saying barkley or roldan are better than graziano,but im saying that graziano is not a big middle at all...
    If hearns barkley were at 154 iran would never win in a million years,ditto roldan.

    Graziano was a natural lmw.

    You don´t get my point. I don´t think size was the deciding factor of Barkley beating Hearns. Thing is, Graziano has a better chin than Barkley - who took Hearns´ shots - and a bigger punch. I never said Graziano would win, I´m just pointing out things.

    For me,after watching the sleek destroyer of Cuevas and Duran,I can't picture Graziano beating Tommy Hearns.But,after watching a couple of Graziano fights,Jesus,the guy reminds me of the (Hanson Brothers) on that Slapshot movie.What a thug.If Rocky gets the right kind of ref that allows his rabbit punching and all,there is a chance he could kayo Hearns.
