    Then again Ruiz was KO'd in one round by David Tua.

    Then again Tua hit really ****ing hard.

    Hmm, I can see both sides of the argument...
    Yeah I see both sides too lol.. thats actually pretty funny...

    I think Hearns had more natural, raw power.

    I cant really argue with that... maybe Hearns did in fact have more raw power...

      Hearns is one of the greatest punchers in boxing history.

      And what's with all this talk about Jones carrying power to HW? The Ruiz fight was a decision. It's not like Roy put him to sleep or has another fight you can use as an example.

      Hearns may not have fought the best comp at cruiser but he KO'd people on more than one occasion at that weight.
