    Which of the current crop of 147 and 154lb'ers do you see giving Hearns any problems? Even if he steamrolls over them, does anyone pose a semi-threat?

    None of them see the distance, and none of them would give him any problems at all....Maybe Floyd a little, but he still ends up getting KTFO cold.

    Steamrolls anyone who don't have a: Iron chin, balls, or be a proven puncher. He only lost once at WW to Leonard and never lost at LWW. Had the balls to face anyone and obliterated Duran. He would be the top guy at WW for sure. He gets a lot of flack for his "chin" but being stopped by Leonard at WW and Hager and Barkley at MW is nothing to laugh at.

    Would someone like Cotto give a good account of himself? Because I see a Duran like KO in a Cotto vs Hearns situation...

    nobody at 147 to be honest would bother him.
    maybe Sergio at 154

    Tommy Hearns was a freak

    He would more likely beat them all.

    I'd love to think someone would surprise us, styles makes fights n all. Just can't see it though.

    Tommy would knock every single one of them out, its too early to say much about Canelo and floyd would give tommy a little trouble at first but the hitman has the strength of a light heavyweight, doubt well see someone like him again

    Kell Brook would stop Hearns early on in a somewhat competitive fight

    the real question should be who can last 12-15 rounds with the hitman? Maybe floyd, I was gonna say the walking dead but he would punch margo's eye threw the back of his head and they would have to stop it! clottey's high guard might stand up . . . nah!

    Dude mosley tapped that ass before the eye problem, watch the roberto duran fight and tell me how margo could last 12-15 rounds being punched in the face by the hitman?

    Cotto gets waxed Duran style and early. Short, 67 inch reach, shaky chin, spells disaster.

    I'd favour Hearns to beat all of them. The only two fights that would be somewhat interesting are Floyd and Martinez but Tommy is a stylistic nightmare for Mayweather (although you could say he same for most Welterweights in histoy) and I can't actually see any way for Sergio to come out on top.

    All the other guys, from Pac to Cotto and everyone in between, get slaughtered.

    Serg would have turn his back and run to survive tommy got the reach, the fast hands, the power and most importantly the skill to make Serg look like an amateur.
