"but who did he fight besides Leonard who cleaned his clock"

I think the refs threw a few punches too, as I mentioned above.

As for Hearns at 26 years old beating Duran at 33 years old... I think we are kinda talkin apples and oranges here.

It's all subjective... me, I know what I saw... records matter little... individual fights matter less. To me, it's all about the ability of the pugilist. Best I ever saw over a carrer was Duran. I have a tie in mind but I'll not say who. It's all subject.

BTW... that shit about allowing a man with a beard in the ring is terrible. My old man totally freaked out when Duran appeared for a match sporting a beard... I think Duran did it in protest of the piss poor refereeing. (Read "fix".)

Sorry if that throws gas on the fire, but that's the way I saw things.
