    Hearns. He won titles in 5 weights, he had better longevity, and soundly beat Benitez head to head.

    As great as Benitez was, this is Hearns by some distance.

    I voted Benitez for being the younges champion in boxing history and for being possibly the best defensive boxer off the ropes EVER.
    Hearns is of course an ATG as well.
