Both had great power. But Thomas Hearns fought many great fighters. Most of the people Jackson fought was bunch of bums. I think many boxers can look great when they are fighting bums. That's why I give it to Hearns.
Norris, Herol Graham, & Buster Drayton were world class fighters, Parodius...furthest things from BUMS. They all were knocked dead as dirt by single Jackson blows.

Come on with that.
I will give you Norris, but Norris was knocked out by other fighters. Norris had a glass jaw. But I don't consider any of those guys great. Hearns fought some of the greatest boxers of all time. Big difference when you compare the fighter that Hearns fought.

If Norris had a glass jaw, then so did Pipino Cuevas....because Norris was never KO'd until Jackson laid him out. It's possible Jackson's shattering KO made Norris more vulnerable.
The same can be applied to Cuevas....he was never the same, couldn't take a good shot, after Hearns wiped him up.
Buster Drayton wasn't great....but he was a tough, tough guy. Never KO'd, or dropped, before Jackson starched him.
hearns KOd roberto duran with one punch... nuff said.
Hearns knocked out Duran at 154. The same Duran who started his career at 118 or something, and who was a dominant lightweight. Hearns, with his size & power, SHOULD have KO'd duran.
Man, there's a whole lot of boxing out there that you haven't seen.
wrong, i have seen plenty. I didnt say it was the most spectacular KO. But he knocked him clean the **** out. Duran himself said he never felt something like that before. It was the cleanest one time shot ever. It wasnt like durans momentum carried him into the shot. He was stationary, them WHAM.
