    Hill Hill is a great win in itself, and yet that is 5th. It was a great career. I think underrated.

    Benitez

    Benitez was prime and at his best weight. Hearns was able to figure out a strategy to outbox him as he knew coming right at him would play into Benitez's hands

    Duran

    It wasn't surprising that Hearns beat Duran because of his immense physical advantages. But, the way he did it was shocking.

    Cuevas

    Ditto above except Cuevas was no Duran so have to rank this win below the one over Duran.

    Hill

    Hearns seemed on his last legs and was a big underdog. But, he employed a sound game plan. He was helped, though, by Hills reticence to try and get inside on Hearns.

    Leonard 2

    Hearns was an underdog in this one, too. Although, he did appear to deserve the decision by a point or two, he was badly rocked on multiple occasions, including taking a big beating in the 12th round.
