    I sure hope you're not trying to insinuate that Iran Barkley is anywhere near the level of Thomas Hearns?

      Wow...just wow...

      You kids have little knowledge of the game, man. That's cool but it's like you don't even wanna learn. U just wanna root for your hero. With all due respect, Floyd Mayweather's resume isn't even half of Sugar Ray Leonard's. Now run along and go play Fight Night.

        You know that he fought a lot of bums? first real fighter he fought was Marty Servo, you could dispute that Servo beat him twice, but he certainly beat him once.

          Barkley was a 3 time world champion in different weight classes. He isn't an all-time great but a HOFer and when he beat Hearns, Tommy was damaged goods. I guess Glen Johnson and Tarver are all-time greats too because they beat Jones.

            Ofcourse not, Hearns BTW is one of my alltime greats but the fact is he had a weak chin and I would like you to argue with that if you can.

              James Toney owned him.

                He was damaged goods? Did'nt he have a draw with Sugar Ray Leonard after that fight which many believed Hearns deserved to win? Did'nt he beat an undefeated Virgil Hill?

                  Robinson fought more HOFers than any other fighter except Henry Armstrong.

                  Just because you don't know the names on his record doesn't mean he just fought bums.

                  The first legit fighter he fought was Servo but guess what? That was his 24th pro fight, that's when people usually step up in competition.

                      Hearns had a weak chin, deal with it kid. Hearns and Ray Leonard are both my alltime favourites. Hearns had everything except the chin
