Great fight while it lasts. Hearns was a great fighter but he wasn't a great MW.Tommy lost by KO to Hagler and Barkley at 160.
Hearns and GGG both have KO power but the difference would be Golovkin is a natural MW with better stamina and a better chin. GGG by TKO mid rounds.
Losing to Hagler and Barkley is nothing to be ashamed of.
I agree with the results though.
Fight of the year candidate.
Firefight that ends with the more durable Golovkin getting the stoppage.
You're getting me fired up!!!
Good post.
:boxing:

Duran and Hearns are my two favorite boxers but have to go with Golovkin on this one. Tommy could be hurt by lesser fighters than Golovkin at Middleweight. He could outbox Golovkin because he has great tools but most likely he will get hurt and stopped.
Well said, good points.

You are always putting GGG in these polls against bad asses from the past hoping he losers the poll. You know he has guys on this forum who hate him like you do and you count on that to make him lose these polls. Guys like Kushking Robi 13 would vote against GGG even if you matched him into Donald Duck or the Easter bunny.He won this time so sure as hell you will have another poll matching him into Hagler. You can't wait for him to take a loss in real life. You want him beat in polls over and over again right away. Haters gonna hate.
Hearns was a vicious skillful boxer puncher but his chin was not so good. GGG has shown over and over that you cannot knock him down. Prime GGG KOed 22 boxers in a row. Hearns might wins a few rounds but no way does he survive 12 rounds with the prime GGG who hits much harder than any of the guys who KOed Hearns.
Hard to say that Hearns stops GGG because GGG was never stopped and has a great chin. But Hearns was stopped, and if GGG lands what Hagler landed...
what's more funny is that the OP mentions Canelo, but doesn't make a Canelo-Hagler thread...
And people act like hearns was some mw legend? Hearns is p4p legend, but his middleweight run is not impressive.
If you're talking to me or about me go and @ me. Nobody said Hearns was the best at middleweight he was actually just ok, however he'd be the best fighter g has fought.
And from what we've seen in regards to g that says a lot. golovkins two best fighters and he's struggled don't overhype him and make him better than he is.
There is none, but I am pretty sure GGG has Hagler`s power also.
Even if he does have Hagler like power doesn't matter. Hagler was cut and went into overdrive something we've never seen golovkin do.
Also we've NEVER seen his chin get cracked the way Hearns would and golovkin is incredibly easy to hit.
