    Oh ****:lol: didnt realise that i'd created this thread.

    Hearns is definatley one of my favourites. My heart is for the guys cut from Morales/Frazier cloth though. And I grew up on Benn. Hearns style is one of my favourites to watch though.

    :good



    The most inexplicably under-loved fighter in history and in my opinion the most exciting fighter of this generation, yes including Gatti and Corrales.

    Would make my top five or six right now i'd bet.

    My top 3 are naz, bruno, benn. After that it gets murky. I've not really had a favourite since these 3. I usually just root for the underdog.
