Which is a better win Against Thomas Hearns

[Thraxox]

Win by KO. Or Win by Decision.

Beating him at 147-154 was already an accomplishment, but considering he outboxed the likes of Benitez and Leonard, outboxing Hearns was one of the toughest things to do in a boxing ring.

Barkley outboxed hearns. By outboxing I mean, shutting hearn's ability to box on the outside by going on to the inside, reducing his range.

Yes, Barkley had Hearns number, but no one can deny the quality of Hearns boxing ability, again, he out boxed Benitez and Leonard, two of the greatest pure boxers ever.

I think it would depend on the fight and how it went and at what point in Hearn's career it happened. Hearns was at his best at 147 and 154. He was unbeatable at 154. He was killing Barkley in their middleweight fight right up to the time Barkley knocked him out. Barkley out pointed him at 175 in their 2nd fight. It was not one of Hearn's better fights and 175 was really too big for him. Hearns was a great boxer as well as a great puncher. His chin was his weakest link but his chin wasn't that bad. Good punchers stopped him 3 times in a long career of fighting the best.
