    Why do people say Hearns has a suspect chin? It's not like he got knocked out by two nobodies from asia.:think

    There are a few reasons I have B Hop over Mayweather:

    Unified Titles
    Long reigns at MW
    better overall comp

    If PBF did beat Pac and Martinez I might have to move him over B Hop but as it is now... No question.

    No guts, no glory. That rules Mayweather out, and Hopkins out for choosing former welters and jr middles ahead of the likes of Calzaghe and a Jones Jr rematch in their prime. Hearns fought the best and should have come out with a winning record over Duran, Leonard, Hagler and Benitez (He beat Leonard in the rematch imo, that was shady that draw)

    I know this is off subject but I notice when we put these hypothetical situations together whens its who better or who would win etc. its always floyd vs. (fill in the blank) or blank, floyd, and blank etc. but I have yet to see people put Manny in these type of who would win Manny or Leonard or could Manny give Ray Robinson a fight. I say this because even on espn site where gram houston did a whole article of floyd vs. or the ring site where they did a whole series of floyd vs. articles, or any boxing site for that matter. there aren't any hypothetical fights that Manny is even in the discussion, Im just wondering are we assuming that he would win at this fights so its not worth theorizing or that he has no chance so its not worth theorizing? Real answers no spam please

    Hearns, clearly. Toss up for me as to who comes next.

    Wins over Benitez, Duran, should have a win over Leonard, Cuevas, Hill, and other title holders/top contenders...neither Floyd or B-Hop can match that.

    Money, Hops, and Hearns easy. everyone says when Hopkins fought people his own size he lost. his last 3 losses could've went his way since his opponents were in worse shape than him at the end of the fight. Hearns is a great fighter no doubt, but not better than hopkins. when he lost, it was decisive. when mayweather lost - oh wait, nevermind.

    Mayweather is knocking on the door to hopkins though.

    Hearns
    Hopkins/Mayweather


    I can't decide who I rank higher between Hopkins and Mayweather. On different days, I'd give different answers. Both should be ranked very closely, no matter what. But neither is on the same level as Tommy IMO, he was a better fighter, achieved more, and has a better resume.
