    Your post is on point :good

    Great fighters look for real challenges.Even losses can elevate a fighter's status.

    I think Floyd is making a mistake by not fighting somebody like GGG.

    You make a fair point.Personally I donot agree with your conclusion.

    In my view Hearns slightly better resume and his great fights carry the day.Also Hearns has a fair longevity too.

    I have to disagree with the excitement factor.If you are involved in great fights that also contrbute to define a fighter's greatness.in addition, the willingness to accept challenges also should count for something also.

    You write this whole intelligent post. Then ended with the biggest line of garbage of all. How can you be greater than a fighter you lost to.. :patsch

    I think he meant to say that Pac's achievements are greater than PBF's, they objectively are, I don't think he's saying he's a greater fighter, he isn't.

    Mayweather is as he has the better resume. His wins are collectively better than Hearns'.

    I'm a big Hearns fan, but Floyd is the greater fighter.

    I think Hearns win over Duran is better than Floyd's win over Pac.


    Hearns cuevas win is greater than Floyd's win over Castillo.

    Hearns Benitez win better than Delahoya's win.

    Hearns victory over Hill.In order to equal that , Floyd would need to fight somebody like GGG.

    I think Floyd ranks higher all time but I think Hearns would've ko'd him in an actual fight.just a stylistic bad matchup imo

    That's incorrect. Many great fighters were afraid of other fighters.Floyd is just the most recent example

    He does have the whole titles in 8 weight classes thing going for him. But I wouldn't say better. I hear ya though.

    Compared to Hearns' opponents it's so weak.
