How did this guy ever make 11 title defenses before Hearns almost seperated his head from his shoulders? The division must have been soft before Leonard, Hearns, Benitez era.

Pap...


He did it because there have been FEW fighters in the history of the sport with fists as heavy as his.
This guy touched fighters.....& if they didn't fall, something inside them broke.

He was slow, nearly defenseless...but during his reign nobody ever hurt him, & he crushed them.

He beat good guys, too...like Harold Weston, Angel Espana, Pete Ranzany.

Cuevas broke bones with his power and before Hearns was thought to have an iron chin.
