    So Stylistically, Hearns would lose to a fighter like Erool Spence P4P due to the fact he struggled against inside fighters like Hagler and Duran?

    Quote me if I'm wrong but isn't it easier for Heavyweights to start late compared to lower divisions?

    Doesn't change the fact that Spence and Crawford are better P4P than Mugabii, Barkely, and Benietex (Guys who all four lost too

    People say the same thing about the NBA. Doesn't change the fact that Luka, KD, Lebron, Giannis, Jokic...etc are better than anyone Jordan ever faced .

    Spence is better than Barley P4P. Wouldn't you agree?

    Agreed but Spence beats Duran at 147 and Hagler would not dominate a 160 version of Spence.

    My point exactly. He struggled against a 160 version of Duran for christ sakes. The just proved that a 160 version of Duran would've beaten Hagler

    Ok, let's put it this way, due you see a natural 160 version of Spence, Shakur, and Crawford struggling against Brakley? Honestly, I think a 160 version of POrter beats Barkeley.

    Doesn't mean that those fighters are better. What evidence do we have that Jones would beat GGG when he never fought a style like GGG

    the Hagler shouldn't be rated as high as he is

    1. You’ve never seen that fight.

    2. It wouldn’t have been a 50/50 fight, as Floyd was past his peak at WW, where he was a more cautious fighter. As soon as Ray had fought him aggressively, he’d have put Floyd on the defensive, which would have negated Floyd’s own offense.

    Floyd never fought anyone with equal speed and offensive skills, and who was also bigger, stronger and significantly more powerful than what he was.

    It would have been a huge shock to him.

    Do you not even read the responses?

    I’ve already said that I’m a big fan of Crawford.

    I’ve said that unfortunately, he hasn’t fought any great fighters, but on the eye test, he certainly has a style to have bothered Duran.
