Hearns' list is a bit stupid. I disagree with a few of Steward's picks obviously, particularly the Foreman inclusion which I think is flat out ridiculous although it's alright in my opinion apart from that.

Also having Hagler included and not Monzon is dodgy, they are so close.

Deeply unimpressed they probably thought about 10 seconds each.

Hearns' list is all made by fighters who fought in the 70s-80s with the exception of Mayweather.

Steward must be the only man on earth to rank Duran behind Hagler.

Benitez > Leonard was funny.

yes... wonder why he has them like that... :-D

Emanuel Stewards's top 3 is really good but Hearns's top 3 is pretty bad. Neither Floyd or Pacquiao should be on either list. That's a joke.

[Tiozzo]

lol at Hearns's list if it is legit that is

[IronDanHamza]

Looks more like a list of favourite fighters.

Certainly not the most accomplished.

well it's good to know that tommy hearns is the third greatest fighter who ever lived according to thomas hearns.

And apparently he was the best non heavyweight ever. I guess being 0-2 against Iran Barkley doesn't hurt you all that badly.
