Floyd Mayweather-Thomas Hearns.

Nobody dominates Floyd Mayweather. That's just silly.

I can envision scenarios where each fighter wins. I favor Tommy though. If Floyd could keep the fight on the inside, which he's fully capable of, I could foresee him winning. If Tommy controls range with his jab, it opens up everything for him and he wins.

It's all about how Mayweather would deal with Hearns' jab.

My pick: Hearns by decision

 

Yes.
That's why Hearns didn't fight Hagler at middle. Oh, hang on.
That's why Duran didn't fight Leonard, hang on, didn't fight Hear..um, didn't fight Hagl...balls.
Thats why Lonard didn't fight Hagl....agh.

 

call me crazy!.. styles make fights.. hearns is ALL WRONG for floyd and would win against him


but do you think someone like margarito would have a much better shot against hearns?

iron chin, good pressure fighter... remind you of anyone ?

 

i love how people do this, use a imaginary situation as a realistic one, i never said hearns wouldnt beat mayweather if they fought, just pointing out the people who thought floyd didnt have the skills to test hearns which if you consider yourself a boxing fan with decent knowledge to be ridiculous, the guy is/has been the best p4p fighter for a decade and would give any fighter from featherweight-welterweight in history problems

 

Margarito wouldnt stand a chance in hell, it would be target practice for Hearns i doubt Margo goes past two to be honest, too slow and too easy to hit for a powerful sharpshooter like Hearns. it would probably be Cuevas all over again.

hearns seems to have it all.. its hard to imagine any type of fighter who would beat him, i havent seen the barkley fights but iv seen him loose to hagler

 

its hard to imagine any type of fighter who would beat him

someone with a iron chin who wont stop coming, hearns just realised against hagler he couldnt hurt him after 2 rounds, strange beacuse as by boxing him considering srl after 5 years out outpointed hagler hearns could have won a very wide decision

 

hate bait

 

At WW i would probably only favor Ray Robinson over him, Whilst Ray Leonard even though he beat him he had to come from way behind to win it, in a rematch it would probably be 50/50 there would be others i would give a slim punchers chance but thats about it. At 154 the only one i can see having a shot is Mike McCallum but Hearns would still be the favorite to win ,above that weight Hearns wasnt as good as he was at those two weights,his power wasnt the same and he was facing fighters as strong or stronger than him guys who put pressure on him and force him back and he struggled with some (Roldan,Kinchen)and got beat by others(Hagler,Barkley twice.).

 

Hearns had rocks in his head trying to fight Hagler like that.
Tried too hard to go balls out. I think he broke his hand in the first round too.
Still. Thats what made him so entertaining.

 

not the smartest of fighters hearns really as his talent could have gt him alot further than he actually did

 

I'd say winning titles from welter to light heavy, going up and down the weights depending on opponents and matchups is a superb career.

Lost to Leonard late after our boxing him.
Lost to Hagler just trying to show he feared no-one.

The Barkley losses, meh, he was on the slide by then.

Hearns had a simply brilliant career. The excitement he brought, and his willingness to fight anyone, at any weight, more than makes up for a couple of brain fades.

Hell, there was half hearted talk about him having a shot at heavy after winning the LHW title. I think he would have given a shot too.
Thankfully I imagine his managers never entertained it.

I think boxers careers and legacies, and what they leave behind is much more than just stats and black and white figures.

 

my point was can you imagine where he would be ranked all time time if he held firm against srl 1st time and boxed hagler, his fighting instincts made him ignore conventional wisdom in his 2 biggest fights really but yes great career

 

If Shane can load up a big right hand, so can Hearns, that would be the end... But Hearns also had great boxing ability, size and length over Mayweather.. I think Hearns could outbox him too.

 

Yes, I see your point.

Beating Hagler, and riding out the last 2 rounds against Lronard and his career just goes to another level.
