    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.
    I guess you believe Julio César Chávez was great as well?

      Hearns would have owned Mayweather any day of the week and twice on sunday, regardless of what you think about his chin.

        That's why Hearns is an all-time great, because he could STILL beat fighters when he was damaged goods. Hearns was at his best as a welterweight and a light middleweight, when he went up to middleweight, super middleweight and light heavy he lost a lot of his speed and footwork.

        And BTW both Leonard and Hearns were pretty much done by the time they fought each other and the Virgil Hill fight was the kind of a fight a great old fighter has left, one great performance. Hearns boxed well in that fight and wasn't drawn to brawls like he usually was.

          Yes, JCC is pretty damn great. Not because of his nice record but because of the fighters he beat.

            LMAO.

            Ok, he had a weak chin. And would have knocked out every opponent Floyd has ever been in the ring with. Next?

              Would that be Meldrick Taylor, Jermain Taylor, or Sheriff Taylor of Mayberry? Anyway, it still adds up to you being full of ****.

                Jermain Taylor won close decisions against the likes of a 40 year old Bernard Hopkins, Cory friggin' Spinks and Winky 'light middleweight' Wright.

                Sugar Ray Leonard won close decisions past his prime against another past his prime fighter Tommy 'Hitman' Hearns (who he stopped when they were both in their prime) and the middleweight beast Marvelous Marvin Hagler.

                No comparison.

                  It would be a competitive fight, tell me which fight of Hearns are you basing it on that Hearns would "Own" Floyd? Just tell me the fight Hearns had that gives you the idea he would own him

                      Ask that about Floyd. But if you need to know, I'd say when he laid a top ten ATG fighter out in two rounds, that's when. Next.
