    That vid is my standard response when people start trash talking Tommy. Margo is number 2 on my list of current favorites, but as far as I'm concerned questioning whether of not Hearns could KO him is "trash talkin' Tommy!"

    I've posted this before that I feel the WW division is very competitive nowadays but the talent does not come close to what it has been in the past. Cotto is a very good fighter but his height and reach and chin can be exposed by a fighter, Margo is big, durable and strong but lacks the elite skill set, Mosley is way past his prime, Williams is very hittable. These fighters are not on the level of even when Delahoya, Tito, Quartey and Mosley were WWs....especially not Hearns and SRL.

    Imagine a fighter with Williams's height, Delahoyas speed and boxing ability and Tito's power...maybe even more power then Tito and Mosley's explosiveness ====>>>> The perfect Welterweight? Not exactly, he never learned how to clinch, but close....It's Thomas Hearns :deal

    So now, you're comparing one of the DEFENISIVE greats to a DEFENSELESS "face first" fighter in Antonio Margarito..:patsch

    These boards are going down the drain:-(

    A prime WW Delahoya stops him.
    A prime WW Tito TKOs him.
    A prime Hearns takes his head off.

    George Foreman was KOd by Ali
    Mike Tyson was KOd by Douglas
