    Hearns threw away all his advantages when he chose to brawl.

    :lol: I don't remember what shoes he had on but I'm sure I would of remembered if he had platforms on. If that's not good enough for you, here he is with my 5 foot 6 brother.

    Much gr8er win than "Ali over Liston"
    Liston was old and smaller than Ali when he fought him .
    He was also old when he fought Patterson , but Patterson was not enough 2 take advantage of it .
    Also Ali fights were circus acts meant as cheap entertainment 4d very dumb crowd , professional wrestling shows in de disguise of "boxing" .
    Part of this very dumb crowd post here nowadays .
    U do not know which of them were real .

    Duran was d smaller and older man whom was already on d downslide physically . 4 example how many consider 29 years old Olivares as prime? and what about Ray Leonard @ 1985 , was he prime by then?
    he possibly was , besides of his detached retina , but this is Y he was not prime really . And Leonard did not come close 2 Duran by that age in neither quantity nor quality of fights .
    not claiming that Duran was even close 2 shot vs Leonard in their 1st fight, but he was past his prime by then .
    But de gr8est victory of all times ? IDK .
    "superfighter" or not , Leonard was already a reigning titlist and a gold medalist by then and more proven and experienced by that time than de similarly aged McCallum 4 example .
    A bigger and younger man whom was and still considered by most as a very high quality bigger man 2 this day , especially by de likes of yourself .

    u can keep posting pix , and it is nice and all , but does not prove or convince as long as u did not verify his shoes , etc , as fighters wear thick bottom shoes many times in order 2 hide their shortness of stature , especially compared 2 their billed / listed stats .
