Hearns really only had issues with big punchers. Hearns' fights happened one or two ways: If you could turn it into a brawl, and break your way...
I think Leonard would have improved. He would have been more relaxed the second time. If they had rematched, again it would have been a distance...
Doesn't even include the great Willie Pep, (who could even be considered for the number one spot, though I'm fine with Robinson), but Alvarez is...
Kid Chocolate vs. Ray Robinson...?
Azumah was a strong fighter and a good puncher. I would have liked to have seen him and Barry McGuigan fight. Today, people will say McGuigan...

The afternoon I watched it, was outraged by the decision and thought it was a robbery. Watching it years later, not quite the robbery I thought it...
