Comparisons are unfair to Hearns...
Hearns's biggest name win was against an older smaller Duran.
Burley's was against the naturally bigger, 28 years old Archie Moore.
Burley lost every fight in a series to Ezzard Charles.
Hearns lost every fight in a series to Iran Barkley.

Eddie Futch claimed in the 1990s that Burley was the best fighter he had ever seen which does not make him a greater fighter than Hearns, Emmanuel Stewart said Thomas Hearns was the greatest fighter he ever trained..."you never mentioned Manny Stewart either"
I look at who you beat, how and when. By those standards, Burley is the greater fighter. You wanna count straps? go ahead...
