    Yeah,judging by the clear robbery that Hearns was on the end of first time around you can see why Ray was fortunate and chose not to rematch him before his two retirements.
    I mean it's clear that Tommy should never have been stopped.:lol:

    Again been saying this for years Hitman was the one that took that eye.Sometimes you can win the fight but you don't want to fight that person again.

    When fighters start making millions of dollars per fight, there is no need to fight as often as a fighter who wants or needs more money.

    You know who fought the better version of Cotto,and even though Pac Tko him,he STILL wanted to drain him again,one time was not enough..

    As far as Juan that was easy work,while Pac went life and the death with the guy....Also most people would agree he is the guy that beat Pac 2 out of 3 times.. The guy that Manny dodged for 3 years to fight a drained Oscar as well as Floyd's other left over Hatton which gave rise to his super stardom "piggy backing off of Floyd" some will say..

    I guess rankings don't mean anything?

    That's really bothered me about modern fighters. Even great ones like Floyd, Leonard, and Whitaker only have about 40 fights in their careers. Give me a Duran or a Chavez who seems to actually like boxing, who's not all about a paycheck. I want to see a fighter dominate and clean out a division, move up and then do it again. Duck nobody.

    In Leonard's own era his major competition for greatness was Marvin Hagler who had 27 more fights in his career. That means Hagler faced about 70% more competition. He's got more wins, more KOs, and his major victories are over the same people, ie Duran and Hearns.

    I look at how Pacquiao squares up against Mayweather and I think the same thing. Mayweather is nearly 2 years older but Pac has 17 more fights! What is that?

    Ali got to 61 fights even being barred from the sport for three years in his prime. That is so much more impressive than Frazier's measly record of just 37 fights. It's like "Oh, where did you find the time Smokin' Joe?"

    I really like Bernard Hopkins, but at 47 he ought to have had about 80 fights by now, but he's down at around 60. If you rank him as a great middleweight like Carlos Monzon, then Monzon had 100 fights by the time he was 35 back in the 70s. If you rank him as a light heavyweight who fought into late age then Archie Moore had 219 fights. Maybe, he's fighting so well at that age because he doesn't have a lot of wear and tear on his body. Maybe, he should have put his foot on the gas while he was in his prime instead of waiting twenty years to shock the world.

    Last 3 fights -

    Mosley - a past his due date, and still almost KOed the fraud.

    Ortiz - who literally quit against at best a B fighter Maidana, KOed by an unknown Joselito

    Cotto - annihilated much worse (probably more than 100 times better) by Margarito and Pac, a spent force, a leftover

    So please, stop dicksucking. The sooner you realize he is the epitome of a cherrypicker,the better you are *******.

    It is insultingto even try to compare Tweetybird featherfist with the great SRL.

    SRL fought Duran, Hearns, Hagler. Tweetybird can't even mention Pac without crying or shouting PEDS, despite the fact that Pac is a midget relative to him.
