    Hearns had legit power. He knocked iron-chinned Duran out cold.

    Really? Duran did a face-plant when Hearns hit him.

    Fanboysim is a mental illness. Some fan are so in love with hero that they sometimes lose their critical thinking skills when talking about them.

    At domestic level Calzaghe was a real banger there should be no question about that.

    But don't forget he hurt Kessler to the body , beat the green **** out of Lacey and both Bernard and Jones were kept honest.

    You don't hear anyone giving Willie Pep grief for not hitting hard do you?

    Ask Duran if his power is overrated...

    Calzaghe would have been just another contender in the 80's era.

    Lacy's face told me two things - Joe doesn't hit hard enough to starch anyone, but he still hits hard enough.

    hearns had great power at ww but moved up way too high for his ko% to keep up. ko% means NOTHING AT ALL.

    i find it humorous that "fans" of this sport try pointing to ko% when it comes to power. WTF is wrong with people
