    its somewhere on youtube, leonard has said before that hearns lost his bigfights. Well he did, and thats why he's not held in the same regard as leonard and hagler.

    This would be a classic matchup but with Bernard's granite chin and great boxing technique, it's going to be a case of great smaller guy vs great bigger guy and IMO Hearns gets stopped in the mid to late rounds.

    Hearns had about 5 big fights and lost 2. I could almost add Hill in there. Hagler had about 3 big fights and lost 1. Leonard had about 6 and lost 1 and a draw.

    It's more that Leonard finished with a winning record over all these guys and Hagler dominated one division for ages as well as beating Hearns.

    Alan Minter could be added as a big win for hagler, he was in the p4p rankings at the time.
