Thomas Hearns #1 BabyComment

I would probably agree with Norris and Hearns in the top two spots.Originally posted by Ch@mpBox@PR View PostComment

Purely on hypotheticals "best v. best" matches, I'd probably have Hearns, Mike and Nino in front of him but Norris' ledger is so DEEP at class. Give him a chin and he's so good it's scary.Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View PostComment

LOL...considering how easy he beat Nate Miller at Cruiser, he damn near did and in some eras might have even with the chin he had. The Hearns who beat Hill might have beaten a Tommy Burns or Jess Willard.Originally posted by Hitman932 View Post
