Bob Arum Disses Tommy Hearns

[NeXt In Line]

even as atommy fan i have to say its true tommy did not have a good chin but he had the best right hand in any division in boxing

Just ask Roberto Duran

[demirturk]

at 160 could be . kelly is a big rough physical MW hearns isn't .P For P yes tommy hits harder but not at 160.

[JakeNDaBox]

Thats really what I was getting at. I know that at 160 Tommy didn't have the same power or chin, but as a puncher, OVERALL, no way Pavlik's ****ing with Hearns, at least at this point. I duno if he'll ever have as many accomplishments even at the end of his career.

Yeah, but what Hearns did outside of 160 really is irrelevant to this topic/Arum's claim. Not that I agree on Kelly being the biggest middleweight puncher ever, mind you. Just that people are getting hysterical over Hearn's name being mentioned, including the writer.

it's a shame because an otherwise decent article was ruined by a ****** title, whose point was abandoned after the first paragraph

[Azteca]

.....lol. That is one for the books. Arum's an idiot. Tommy's jab was more clinical then Pavlik's. His right hand. His boxing skills. List goes on and on except for the chin and infighting which Tommy did not do much of.

Arum is officially on my ****list. I winced when I heard that comment.

[pesticid]

In retrospect was Arum right? Yeah, what does he know, he's been building up and promoting fighters like DLH and Mayweather for the past 30 or 40 years.

[MindBat]

Bob again?

I think Tommy and Pavlik need to take turns punching Bob in the mouth to see who really punches harder.

He might change his mind.

[SkillspayBills]

Bob Arum wouldn't have a mind after the first two punches.

[Rudyo]

Tommy Hearns has a better punch at 160 then Pavlik. I mean Pavlik has great power but Tommy's right hand was out of this world.

[-Antonio-]

Why is this a ridiculus thing to say? Hearns only had four or five fights at Middleweight didnt he? I know he KTFO Shuler. That one was ugly.

[MindBat]

Bob Arum wouldn't have a mind after the first two punches.

Well, it would to the floor and he'll just have to pick it up and put it back on,
then make his decision.
