    Hearns has no chin

    That's what you people keep saying!

    Pit 140 lb Benitez vs Floyd the world's first billion dollar fighter, and Floyd automatically wins

    This is a very weak post. You criticised posters in the General recently, this is very much a General forum level post (and the lower end of the General, at that).

    You position this as sufficient argument for picking Mayweather over Hearns, without needing any further context, yet you offer no insight over and above "logic" that would equally apply to Innoue beating Tyson.

    Clearly Tyson vs Innoue is a world a way from Hearns vs Mayweather, but referencing it is sufficient to demonstrate that you need to add to your argument for it to be credible.

    You’re talking to a guy who’d automatically have picked Floyd over Harry Greb, based on the fact that Greb was the same size as Canelo.

    Also to a guy who presented his "logic" as irrefutable indication that Mayweather should be favoured over Hearns, when just a couple of weeks ago he posted he was uncertain of who would win in a fight between the 2.

    So, he doesn't even believe the position he is adopting, himself.

    I was actually making fun of how two bit London's belief that Hearns cannot be outboxed, ever, is.

    Yeah, of course you were.

    It's not a case of your weak logic being exposed and now you're back tracking. Absolutely not.

    Not at all. One would have to be a little dim to think I'd write something like that in seriousness.

    I think that applies to much of what you post. Either you're the one who is dim or you're trolling. So, we can agree on that point.

    I'm continually amazed at how far Floyd could move up, take the latest hot fighter, no matter his size, and tie him in knots

    Two bit?

    Well then simply tell me who all of these guys were who outboxed him.

    There’s irony in making the comparison to a guy who was never outboxed (i.e. lost a decision) or knocked out.

    LOL! Prime Duran, Hearns, Benitez, Norris all beat Floyd. I might even favor Camacho too. Hagler would have ripped his head off but to be fair Floyd was never a middleweight.
