    Hearns was a giant of a man so it isn't a huge surprise. He still dwarfs Leonard in real life.

        Hearns is 3 inches taller.

        And it doesn't matter anyway Hearns started at Welterweight like Leonard and went up to Crusierweight whereas Leonard went to Super Middleweight.

          What if Floyd fought Badou Jack for the SMW and LHW titles?

              Welterweights are Midgets today compared to Ray Leonard and Hearns ERA

              Ray Leonard was a legit 5'10 or 5'11, Hearns was 6'1

              Welterweights Today? Mayweather 5'8, Pacquiao 5'6, Bradley, 5'5

                Yep, and if THOSE guys were fighters among today's generation, guys such as Floyd, Pacquiao and Bradley wouldn't dare enter the WW division. They'd stay safely below at 140.

                  SRR fought for the LHW title coming in at 157lbs. A mans balls matter more than their frame.

                    SRR started at lightweight, and fought for the LHW title.
