    Ok McGrain I am going to fess up and say I voted for hearns I weighed up their wins and the amount of different weights they were successful in . Plus the length of title reign at the different weights and who they fought . Then as I found it very close I thought in fight between the two who had the weapon I felt might hold the edge . That's how close I found this and for me the jab of hearns
    Was the thinnest of winning margins now I know you may well rip this apart but at least I put forward an answer . Will I post an in depth reasoning no I won't . You know me by now and it will end up being a ramble compared to the sort of stuff you can churn out :deal


    Goodnight

    I would say Hearns was the finest 154lber of the modern era. He would not have to worry (even pound for pound) about his chin against Whitaker. He had the right hand, and the love of beating pure boxers. Tommy 9/6.
