    Here is an idea, how about the OP giving credit to the writer of that story instead of just posting it uncredited? That looks like the work of Lem Satterfield and he deserves to be credited if his work is re-posted, not too much to ask, even in the internet age, where what's mine is yours the moment I post it...

      Probably.

      Hopkins is a natural MW and Hearns is a natural WW. Above 154 he wasn't too impressive in comparison, so yeah, probably.

      But Hearns is the greater fighter.

                hopkins takes his right hand away,schools him and stops him late
                LOL, at you knowing nothing about Hearns Larry. Hearns was a beast at WW but other than that he wasn't that good at the higher weight classes.

                  Hearns beat an undefeated Virgil Hill @ 175, which is probably the 2nd or 3rd best win of his career (if not the best).

                  If they were to fight @ Middleweight or Light Heavyweight (Middleweight especially) weight wouldn't be that much of a factor given his proven effectiveness at both weights.

                  The greater fighter would win, regardless of a "natural" mere 13 pound weightclass difference.

                  Which is probably Hopkins.

                      better? that's disputable. not with his legendary china.
