    Agreed. The first fight was better all the way, the second fight was mostly Tunney punching & clinching and getting away with it until Dempsey caught him, after which Tunney handed Dempsey a beating. You could say it woke him up.

    I would find it hard to pick guys like Rosenbloom anf Loughran against Hearns, simply because he was never outboxed in a fight only outfought. Grebs apparent lack of punching power (I know he was a slashing accumalation puncher!) leads me to believe that this would be a decent fight.

    Then again make fantasy fight predictions with Greb is pointless lets be honest.

    Did hearns ever face a guy as big as Loughran or Rosenbloom who was also an ATG HOFer/master boxer? The two closest names you can muster are Olajide and Hill and I dont think either of those guys is a pimple on Rosenbloom or Loughrans ass.

    Above 160 Hearns' record is is pretty weak.

    Yes, but these guys were just a tad bit better than Virgil Hill, if you follow.
