    Marciano beat up old champs. So did Joe louis.
    Marciano never lost. Joe louis lost several times.


    Who is better? Louis or Marciano?
    If you think it's marciano, you need a boxing history lesson.

    Hearns easily!! hes lost and beaten the very best in his era.... this is nothing to debate about..,Floyd has yet to face an elite welterweight

    Hearns is known as 1 of the greatest knockout artists of all time and he was the first ever quadriple,quintuple,and sextuple champion in boxing history and hes also an 8 time world champion winning titles from welterweight all the way up to Cruiserweight..

    Theres no comparison...Untill Mayweather steps it up,Hearns rank higher

    Hearns has never had a problem with boxers,even Sugay Ray Leonard couldent outboxed Hearn,Hearns had problems with Brawlers,Such as Hagler.

    Floyd wouldent be able to outboxed Tommy in my opinion,I see Floyd getting hurt badly and stopped,Hearns size advantage and power advantage would be too much for Floyd,no matter how naturally gifted PBF is,which he certainly is.

    You know my views I think Mayweather will give any welter Problems in the History of Boxing. But I also think Hearns is from a more Modern era and think he would beat Floyd, and Leonard. Only 2 welters I just know without ever seeing them fight would beat floyd.
    In my View Hearns Ranks Higher because I know he would beat Floyd
    Publicly if he beats Pac he will be Ranked Higher.
    Even If he beats Mosley then I will still Rank him Higher

    Anyone not ranking Mayweather in the Top 100 just shouldn't be taken seriously.

    Hearns - better fighter, more accomplished. Mayweather's great, but Hearns outranks him anyway you look at it.

    Hearns...his performance against a prime leonard is greater than any win on floyds resume.
