Hearns never officially beat Leonard. Their second fight was a draw.

Yeah, I think that's why he put the word win in quotes.

Some extras would be Muangsurin who was the quickest champion in boxing history...well, not the quickest, that's Jeff Fenech...he won it in the least amount of fights and was a long time WBC champion. Good win.

Nate Miller was also a very good win right near the end of his career. WBA CW champion.

Angel Espada was a WBA 147 champion.

Bruce Curry was a WBC 140 champion.

Eddie Gazo was a WBA 154 champ.

Yeah, I think that's pretty close how I would rank them.. The last few spots are debatable but overall, I think it's pretty accurate

Tommy was known as ko artist but by beating benitez with one hand and showing his boxing skills on numerous occasions he has shown his versatility

I had to check when Tommy fought Clyde because that was his first test as a young pro and in his 15th pro bout he stopped Clyde Gray (65-6-1)in the 10th and final round. Cyde Gray was a good fighter and has alot of experience also.
James Kinchen (45-4-2) was another big opponent and Tommy won an MD in 12! That was a quality win against an opponent that didn't fold under Tommy's power!
Hearns had close to 175 amateur bouts and was a finalists in regional & national tournies since he was a kid. When he lost it was to older more experienced competitors who he later came back to defeat as he grew in & out of weight classes.

1. KO2 Roberto Duran- such a smashing dominant victory over one of the best fighters of all-time.
2. KO2 Pipino Cuevas- The feared Mexican was the most dangerous welterweight at the time and Hearns toppled him hard and early. Incredible win.
3. W15 Wilfred Benitez- In a close fight, Hearns came through against one of boxing's best counterpunchers.
4. D12 Sugar Ray Leonard- Hearns put on a fine display in winning this fight even though the judges go tit wrong. Even Ray admitted as much.
5. KO4 Juan Roldan- This fight was fast and brutal and a lot of fun to watch.
6. W12 Virgil Hill- Hill just wasn't quite enough although young and near his prime, to outbox the "Hitman".
7. KO1 James Schuler. Hearns crushed the unbeaten Schuler.
8. KO3 Fred Hutchings- Dominant classic, Hearns performance.
9. KO10 Dennis Andries- some good thrills in a good fight.
10. W12 James Kinchen- A really good scrap.

Even though the Duran destruction is number one everyone's list including mine. He did throw some incredible punches I did read an interview were he stated the hardest single shot he threw was against Cuevas.
