Maybe our common ground will be if the majority of the fight is outside, Hearns wins, If it is on the inside , Bhop wins... If you are in, we...
Fair enough, I know the fight was very close and I will defer to you on the memory of it because I havent seen it in years. However, I really...
I'm not saying that Hearns lost his durability after the Hill fight. I'm saying that Hearns wasnt a great durable fighter , never really was given...

Holyfield, Greb , first that came to mind for me
You obviously know that Hearns would need to campaign exclusively there which is the point I think you are missing TBH in order to do the...
thats besides the point imo. How many world title fights did Foster win across different weight divisions?? You are comparing apples to oranges....
