With an additional round going his way, he could hold a win over Billy Conn as well.

2. Billy Conn

No, I have not, would like to see it though.

 

I'm a Sugar Ray fan, but some of his best wins were controversial.

Duran 2: SLR did't beat Duran, Duran quit. Duran's own win over SLR is more convincing.

Hearns 1: If the fight had been over 12 rounds Tommy would have won.

Hagler: Close fight; many still say Hagler won.

Hearns 2: Even SLR admits Tommy won this one inspite of the official draw.

However you rate the wins it's fair to say that SLR was in some of the greatest and most entertaining fights of his era, if not all time.

 

Hearns 1:if the fight had been over 3 rounds Tommy would have shut him out.

 

Yes, but we don't have 15 rounders anymore, they were phased out within SLR's and Hearn's own careers apparently on health grounds.

Hearns was ahead on all cards after the 12th. By the 14th he was knackered.

 

The fighters fought and strategised for 15 rounds.

If it had been 12 rounds the pace and flow would have changed accordingly.

imo you can't look at completed 15 rounders and judge an imaginary winner in a 12 rounder by cutting off whatever happened in the last 3 rounds.

 

That is why i said he fails on the prime and weight questionsatsch

You have to admit though those 5 names take some beating.

 

Hmm. You're right of course and SRL got the win.

However I'm not sure how far either fighter stuck to their fight plans in this one. It was heck of a fight and fatigue certainly played a part in Tommy getting decked.

 

thats a hell of a list.another five are
turpin
fullmer
olsen
graziano
servo

 

really dave green was washed up when he fought leonard
