Hearn's KO was more devastating but the Tarver's was more impressive.

IIRC Duran was knocked down twice in the previous round and it was clear Tommy was going to get him out of there soon enough.

But I don't think Roy was ever on the canvas during his entire career; and Tarver stopped him with one beautiful counter.

The Hearns KO of Duran by about 10 miles. Hearns has a much faster better straight right than Tarver's straight left. Duran had an iron jaw and Jones didn't. Tarver's straight left was a good punch. Hearns's straight right was a great punch.

Hearns lifted Duran with his shots. Just brutal. Scary. Then you look at how Hearns dropped Hagler originally and it's like, this dude right here. It's just he couldn't sustain that for more than 3-4 rounds.

Tarver's was more about timing. Solid, but not as "scary". Like I wondered why Jones was so rattled off of that shot. It was a good shot but I've seen fighters take shots like that and keep coming. Toney took shots like that against Sam Peter and still kept coming.
