    Hearns had a glass chin.


    What rubbish. He was only stopped once at his prime weight in the ****ing 14th by one of the best ever. And stopped when he moved up against another one of the greatest ever.

    Agree with this.

    The 90's still had great fights such as Gatti-Robinson I,Gatti-Ruelas,Chavez-Taylor,Benn-McClellan,Gatti-Rodriguez,Carbajal-Gonzalez,Barrera-McKinney etc but the 2000's had even greater fights like Corrales-Castillo,Morales-Barrera,Monshipour-Sitchatchawal,Ward-Burton all of theses make my all time top ten fights list and you still had others like Tito-Vargas,The Izzy-Marquez Trio,DLH-Mosley,Cotto-Torres,Cotto-Margo,Pac-JMM 1,Pac-Morales etc.

    in terms of great fights 2000's>90´s.

    One of the biggest myths is Maidana being a huge puncher.

    Nope, this is wrong. SRL himself has stated that he mistakenly wanted to prove he could handle Duran's power so he stood and punched with him more than he should have. He didn't fight completely flat-footed, but much more than was typical for Leonard.

    Lennox lewis had no chin.
    King being the reason tyson lost the plot.
    Freddie roach being the best trainer.
    Hamed being a shot fighter by the time he faced barrera.

    A challenger has to do more to win a fight than the champion.

    This only means that if the fight is a draw that the champion keeps his belt.

    But so often this line is used to explain why close rounds should also go to the champion.
