    Read the post directly above your garbage.

    You are indeed one of the morons that need Roberto to explain everything to you. Then again even if he did you would be loathe to give him credit because he forced your hero to ( what is it you idiotically claim ) " fight the wrong fight " :patsch

    :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

    I"m comfortable in my asertion. Like l said l believe that when fighters get KO"d it's just lights out so it's not necessarily a painful experience the way it is if you"re in a brawl. This is why almost every fighter picks someone they were in dog fights with rather than someone who KO'd them because when they're in a dog fight they feel the pain of every punch they receive, which also means in their mind they're telling the truth.

    Foxy I can't read your posts because you are on my ignore list.

    Before you froth at the mouth any longer, observe the following list, which of course takes pound for pound into consideration.

    http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_100_Greatest_Punchers_of_All-Time!

    Note that one Thomas Hearns is listed at #18 of the top 100 punchers according to this very respectable source (2003 Editors of Ring Magazine). Note, also, that Mr. Esteban Dejesus is nowhere to be found anywhere on this list.

    I guess the flash knockdown he inflicted on Duran was seen for what it was by these gentlemen.

    I notice often when fighters are asked who was the hardest puncher, or what was the hardest punch, they often cite a fight from relatively early in their careers.
    That makes sense because obviously a less experienced fighter will be more impressed by being hit by an extremely hard punch at the top level in an import fight than the fighter who has encountered the same kind of thing before on multiple occasions.

    Here is something for the MURICAN fighters fanboys, and Duran haters to digest should they ever discover a brain between their ears.

    To anyone with comprehension ability it shouldn't be too difficult to understand why Hagler couldn't stop Duran, but was able to destroy Hearns like a dishrag.

    Or indeed why Roberto claims that a guy who indeed put him down TWICE when he was at his absolute peak at 135 hit him harder.

    If you need him to explain he was referring to a p4p sense it is time for the sunshine bus.

    Are you claiming that the second time De Jesus dropped Duran in Roberto's 43rd fight ( which was for the WBA, Ring, and Lineal titles ) the Panamanian was either inexperienced, or it was " early " in his career?

    :lol::lol:
