    Cuevas.

    Cuevas was a scary and super tough fighter. Hearns reduced him to virtually nothing in one of the all-time "he's arrived" performances.

      No-one ever did that to Duran again or before that. He didn't just beat him, he dominated, humiliated him and KO'd him in two rounds.

      Also, what a punch he did it with. It was like Tommy hit him with a bolt of lightning.

        Same here. That was the most impressive title win I've ever seen. Unlike Duran, Cuevas was at his peak and in top condition.

          I totally agree. Hearns KO'd a washed-up, way-past-his-prime Duran. Cuevas was seemingly invinsable and at the top of his game; after that fight, it was all downhill. Admitedly, both KO's were visually spectacular.

            No doubt knocking out Duran is number one, that's the only real knockout of duran in his prime and it was so freaking brutal. Then the Cuaves knockout, then out boxing Wilfredo with a broken hand.
