    I rank Tommy Hearns just as high as Hagler, with SRL slightly above them (Though I might be biased).

      Yes if you put Haglers chin on Tommy Hearns then he is the going to dominate anyone he faces. He never gets crushed by Hagler and never gets knocked out by that shot in the dark effort by Iran Barkley.

      You can say this with a lot of things though. Give Ali the punch of Ernie Shavers, give Pernell Whitaker or Floyd Mayweather the punch of Alexis Arguello, put James Toneys chin on Roy Jones...

        Even the way he was he still one of the ATG...and as I said deserving to be at the same level as SRL & Hagler...

                ****in luv Tommy Hearns! But id rate SRL above him. cant really say if he had a better chin, its like saying if Pep hit like Louis. But i hear u. G - Man, what a tragedy. . Luved his style too, Benn was all heart that night, another of my all time favs, The ref didnt do G-Man any favours that night tho.

                  Boxing is a brutal sport and when you get inside the ropes, you know is not a game!!!
