    Two WW contenders who fought some of the best fighters of their era. Who do you see winning here?

    I've only seen Hearns-Gray fight. He made Hearns work a bit before getting absolutely folded at the end.

    Gray has a great resume and looked to have more pop. Losing to Napoles, Cuevas and Hearns is nothing to be ashamed of but he seemed less consistent during his career than Carr.

    Carr was bigger, looked competitive in some of his big losses and did get wins over former champs Bramble and Randall.

    After finding the Napoles fight I changed my mind. Gray may have been too tough and active for Carr to beat. Gray by a bruising decision.

    Did young carr really beat bramble ? That's certainly debatable.

    Old carr managed to beat an older surgeon randall on the quartey delahoya card to snag himself a payday vs fishnets next. Awful fight between two washed up guys

    He got the decision but Bramble hurt and dropped him early.

    Once I found more of Gray's fights it changed my mind. Carr would struggle to keep up with him and to keep him honest.
