That's a good one. 154 seemed to be an optimal weight for him. Strong at welterweight but I think he started feeling weight drained around the time of the sugar ray bout. MW he was still strong but his chin didn't hold up there. Then he ended Virgil hunter's record breaking reign at LHW. :dwillhuh:I guess this is a case of styles make the fights but light middle seemed best

You mean Virgil Hill.

But yeah, Hearns legs and stamina was worse at 147 because of the weight cutting. At 154 he was better in those areas, plus he was even stronger and a bigger puncher there :damn:

one of my favorite performances of all time. complete domination. can't believe tito was even the favorite coming into this fight. imo, winky was the best middleweight in the world during this era, and that includes b hop. shyt, I actually think winky beat b hop at 170 even though he was fat as hell...don't care what anybody says. the scorecards were disgraceful. remember losing a lot of respect for b hop that night. dude fought dirty as hell. headbutting all over the place cause winky was frustrating him. at 160, winky would've beaten him clearly.
