Basically when both fighters were at there highest sugar Ray Leonard stopped him...almost is not enough real great fighters are judged by there ability to fight through fire and come out victorious which leonard did and that’s what separates hearns from the like of leonard , Robinson. Ali , Louis etc...I’m a big fan of hearns but he lost his two biggest fights and he was knocked down numerous times and staggered by many fighters...he is not underrated he is where he should be

Hearns didn't have a glass jaw. He wasn't that easy to hurt but when he was hurt he couldn't seem to get his legs back. Just sayin I've seen Tommy take some pretty good punches without flinching. Just the first round of the Hagler bout. Nobody with a glass jaw gets halfway through that round.Rockin' likes this.

Pretty sure that's when Ray's eye problems begin after Tommy stabbed the orb at will that led to Ray multi retirements.

Hagler was never rocked. Period. The most powerful punches he received only made him halt in his tracks for a mere instant against Mugabi and Roldan.. He was never staggered and never provably rocked that I have ever seen.GhostofDempsey likes this.

I felt he did get rocked in that round, as did Hagler.Last edited by DooGee#33; 09-19-2023, 02:23 PM.

Absolutely they were both shook. Just saying. Hearns jaw wasn't glass. A guy like Terry Norris or Maurice Blocker had glass. I saw Norris get dropped and hurt by a left jab.DooGee#33 likes this.
