Who was the greater fighter: Hearns or Mayweather jr

Also Hearns beat SRL in their 2nd fight and was robbed

 

Hit man, no doubt. Mayweather has 6 ko in the last 15 years, and one of them was a rabbit punch. What the hell kinda ****py fighter has 5 ko in 15 years? can't even honestly call him a fighter, a coward who slaps and run, that's who he is

 

hearns fought during the time of the great fab 4 while floyd avoided legit opposition when it mattered to establish his legacy as a top boxer. the way they fought in the ring tells much o their greatness.

 

Corrales and Castillo, Yes. But one could argue that was the last time he really went for it.
Oscar at 154, hell no! Dude had retired come back and shown little.
Canelo, maybe but in hindsight not really, green and stylistically pretty simple to defeat given Floyds ring IQ.

 

Floyd easily. Hearns only had glimmers of Floyd's longterm dominance.

 

He wasn't successful at 190. His weight jump is ****ogous to Floyd's.

 

floyd cant even compete with hearns record.

 

If you count being knocked out as a resume builder, I agree with your sentiments.

 

That would be like Floyd moving to 160 and beating Cornelius Bundrage. Nobody would take it seriously.

 

I like both , but Hearns and it really isn't a close one.

Hearns fought in a way way deeper era and shone very very brightly.

 

Wrong. 160 is 5 weight classes above 130. Cruiser is 5 weight classes above 147. The ratios are 130/160 and 147/190, almost the same.
