    Couple of shakey moments. From memory he was rocked not much before he left Roldan on his face.

    a contemporary example and one of my favorite fighers, David Lemieux.

    near the end of 2015, he lost his IBF MW belt by TKO to GGG; pretty much destroyed in that fight.

    since then, he's been the busiest MW (at least among elite MWs) in the division: four fights, two UDs and two KOs--one of them ma KO-of-the-year candidate (Stevens)

    Watched it last night John. Yes he definitely got caught by roldan a few times, but that's what makes hearns such a exciting fighter. Roldan did well but good old Tommy came through. Just watched the hearns v barkley first ft as well. Hearns was so in command in first two rounds. Then third round... Bang! Poor Tommy's legs were gone.

    Khan did exceptionally well to spring back from his first ko. That would have taken the confidence out of a lot of fighters imo.

    Tony Bellow. I know he had weight problems and was tko by Stevenson in
    6 rds but who would have thought that he would go on to win the WBC
    Cruiserweight Title and then later beat Hayes and is now in line for a
    HW title shot.
