Tommy is underrated in the sense that he kayoed more quality fighters than many other good or great champs but in truth, he will always be defined by those two superfights that he lost, to Leonard and Hagler.Comment

i dont think he is underrated, how many guys can you think of that can beat hima at welterweight ???Originally posted by kadyoComment

I'd only really take 2 guys over Hearns at Welter and thats SRR and SRL. He might have actually been better at 154 than at 147. Theres no way Hearns would have knocked out Hagler either. It'd take a big mother****er to KO the Hagler that Hearns fought.Comment

hearns glass jaw maybe his down fall... but he had some great fights... and he knock down duran a couple times...Comment

I don't believe he was #3 at 147 but he was up there. I would call him #1 all time at 154 pounds where he was undefeated. He won impressively over Wilfred Benitez and Roberto Duran. Tommy was much stronger at 154 pounds than he was at 147. Many forget he was Champ here for nearly four years.Comment
