Answer 1

Hearns list is not as good as Emanuals...Its all subjective of course, but as great as a fighter as Joe Frazier was, he wasnt the second best fighter of all time



Lmfao at Hearns including himself in the list and over Hagler and Leonard too......no Robinson in his list as well...cmon son





"6: Marvellous Marvin Hagler - “The best middleweight ever, no doubt!”"



This man knows what hes talking about....Monzon, Greb and Robinson all lose to Hagler..I dont know why so few people see that

Answer 2

I would not debate with either man. Stewart is a great trainer and has been around a long time. I find it interesting that one has Mayweather, while the other has Pacquiao. I also LOVE that Hearns included himself. He should because he did win titles in 5 divisions...only he, Leonard, De La Hoya, Mayweather and Pacquiao have done this. It seems to me, Hearns' list is more the greatest in the last 40 years. You also have to respect that Hearns included his foes Hagler, Leonard, Benitez and Duran.



Only Duran, Hagler, Foreman and Ali make both lists. I think no one will argue with those 4.

Answer 3

Everyone's list of the greatest of all time are always different than the other persons list of greats. Sometimes they might even have the same 8 fighters that I would have in mine but then there next two fighters they choose in there list would have me thinking you must be joking.. Most of us have all has the main suspects in the our top 10 but you could ask me on three different times who my top 10 are and id probably give you a different list of fighters every time but my top 5 would always be the same..from 5 to 10 that's a different story because it could be between 20 other fighters who i think are all greats and was all just as good as each other in there own right also great champions.. You can't argue with anyone's list of GOAT as its everyone to there own.. Hearns and Manny's list has some great fighters in there but its not the same as mine and they know a lot more about the sport of boxing than I ever will..

Answer 4

RIP Manuel. His contributions as a pro coach and as a colourful commentator won't in any respect ever gonna be forgotten. this could nicely be a tragic information for the boxing industry. Farewell Emanuel.
