    I believe Robinson stated that Turpin was the strongest foe he ever faced, and that's ****ing huge given the exuberant amount of names Sugar fought

    Hearns as a middleweight didn't do too much, he ko'd Shuler, won an unanimous against Dewit, became champion by koing Roldan and finally got his ass handed on a McDonalds bag with ketchup spilled all over it by Barkley

    If i had to bet money on it, i'd bet on Hearns still, not sure why, but my gut tells me to

    The best version of both?
    Turpin's stay at the top was brief but he was strong, fast and awkward. I believe he would throw a classic boxer like Hearns off his game.

    Turpin gets the stoppage IMV.

    Turpin from the Robinson 1 fight beats him, forces exchanges and catches him during one of his unorthodox attacks springing up.

    I see Randy coming from behind and stopping Tommy late in the fight.
