    At this point, it's close but I'll go with Floyd because he has shown nobody is even close......YET (Cotto).

    When Mayweather's career is over, we will have a better idea.

    FYI...I am a Hitman fan, to the fullest!

    That's not entirely correct, sir. Hearns got up in the ring with Hit Man Heart, to fight over who is the real "Hit Man".

    :lol: I would never have known that though if it weren't for the crazy threads pumpin out over PBF in the WWE.

    Hitman! Beat a better class of opponent and I'd favour him h2h.
    Floyds career aint over yet so he could overhaul Hearns if he has the ambition.

    Unfortunately The Hitman came up short in the 2 biggest fights in his career against the two P4P best in his era. Floyd on the otherhand, still undefeated has surpassed his biggest tests with flying colors so I would have to rate him higher P4P. And if Floyd beats Cotto then his resume is all but untouchable in this era.

    But Floyd can't hold Tommy's jockstrap in 'The Peoples' P4P category. And just about every other official P4P category I'd favor The Hitman in.

    Hearns beat the better fighters and would beat Floyd head to head

    yes he would.if hearns was able to outpint a prime leonard he would outpoint mayweather.mayweather is more cautious and does not have the power leonard had,so you could all but rule out a stoppage for pretty boy.

    I have Mayweather at #33 all time and Hearns at #37 so I give a slight edge to Floyd but it can go either way. Not too much difference between the fighters.
