    ATG: Who Ranks Higher, Julio Cesar Chavez or Tommy Hearns?

    Both would be eligible in 2011 HOF Induction. But i doubt if any of the two would be the headliner. Mike Tyson might just steal the show.

    All due respect to Hearns, but Chavez definitely ranks higher.

    I have Chavez in my top 30 ATGs, Hearns is close but not quite at that level.

    I think you need to be away from boxing for 5 years to get inducted, I may be wrong, who knows.

    I would say that they are pretty much interchangable.
