Hearns fifth title was the WBO Super Middleweight Championship in Nov
1988, however it is somewhat dubious whether that should be considered a
legitimate title. The WBO had only been formed a few months earlier and
his opponent for the newly created vacant title, James Kinchen, was hardly
world championship quality.

I'm now also accepting Thomas Hearns as well as Leonard.

The whole thing is a bit of a farce given the multiple bodies which hand out sometimes dubious titles, and the insignificant differences between some of the weight divisions. But that's boxing.
And I've corrected the scoring for Erland on Q56.
