Floyd Mayweather vs Thomas Hearns - 147

Only ONE of his two prime losses was down to stamina (and it was much more down to Leonard being brilliant), and it was in a fifteen round fight...

Completely unfounded.

 

Alvarez and Pac certainly in the discussion maybe not ODH but he was a damn good fighter.
nothing overrated about Mayweather. Nothing at all. If anything he is extremely underrated on Classic (can’t speak for the other forums)

 

It is generous to rate Pac equal to Hagler and Hearns. He isn't in the same league as Leonard and Duran.

Alvarez isn't top 50 of all time. Neither is ODH. Great boxers, but not among the very greatest of all time.

 

AND This was 8 years past DLH's prime !! .. People can not use perspective ... Even though I had May winning this fight by a few points, a prime DLH out points him for a win at 147... Its pretty clear to see...and If they actually understood Mayweather and followed his career( not a big risk taker), they would know he doesn't even take this fight with Prime Hearns at 147 ,,,, so why match him?

 

He isn't even top 150 yet. Comparing him to a prime Hearns is embarrassing.

 

Benitez was actually the champion and Hearns took his belt from him. Benitez was a natural Junior middleweight. He was a teen when he was his other titles. Duran had just given Hagler his hardest fight in years. I think he had his “heart and soul” in that fight. Duran’s title record was generally good. No, Cuevas at 147, but you are giving Mayweather all of Canelo’s accomplishments at 160 & 168 (while juiced) so why disqualify Cuevas for Hearns?

 

Also, a borderline shot, 38-39 year old Mosley, who was like 5-5 last 10 fights coming off more than a year out, had him on ***** Street and that’s when Mosley couldn’t pull the trigger. Plus, Oscar was out for a year with only one fight in 2 1/2 years and was also batting like 0.500. Those two wins are so overrated by his fanboys. Good names, but they were never great even at their bests.

 

Hearns UD.

 

Well he was certainly more efficient offensively then Duran, but it doesn't really matter. He doesn't have to be either of those guys, he just has to be himself.

Hell Iran Barkley isn't on Leonard or Duran's level and he laid Hearns the F out

 

Weren't both his KO losses to Hagler and Barkley from right hands?

Hearns tired in both Leonard and Hagler fights. That KO Hagler scored was as much from exhaustion as it was a great punch.

 

Mayweather had a great chin and defence but I still think Hearns would KO him.

 

Iran Barkley was 6ft 1 and competed at middleweight, super-middleweight and light-heavyweight.

His size and power are not comparable to Mayweather's.

 

I agree he's up there with Sven Ottke and Ricardo Lopez as the GOAT.
