Who was a tougher fight for Thomas Hearns? Pipino Cuevas or Roberto Duran? I'm not asking who gave him a tougher fight, or who's the better fighter. I want to know what you guys think was the tougher fight for Tommy to take and for Tommy stylistically to win.
Cuevas, cause at time, he was champ, Hearns was yet to prove self, and Duran was out of league at that time at that weight. Both got blown out, so if someone says Duran I can't really argue on it. I must admit I bet on Cuevas at good odds. Not one of my better picks
Duran. Nobody expected Hearns to walk through Duran. People did think Cuevas could land the hook, but that was a changing of the guard before they fought. People thought Duran would slowly wade Hearns into deep water, and that didn't come close to happening.
