    I know it`s probably been done before, but ... The evasive, defensive, PBF against the incredible power,reach and speed of the prime Hitman... No we know that in reality, this is clearl a fight that PBF would never sign for. But,if Hearns managed to get him into the ring how does it go ??

    You want the one absolute stylistic nightmare for Floyd at 147 in the last 30 years?

    You've found him.

    Hearns is a stylistic nightmare for PBF. Hearns takes this one.

    Hearns is a big problem for Floyd just because he matches his speed and has a jab and right hand. It is just not good for Floyd. Tommy would probably stop him in 5 rounds, yet I think Floyd does ok in spurts.

    Hearns easy. As others has said, probably the worse style match up for Floyd.

    Hearns by knockout.. Possibly early.

    Hearns KO 5

    Hearns would outbox Mayweather easily also, but Hearn's dream would be to fight someone with Mayweather's style, and would own them just like he owned Benitez. Benitez had a better chance against Hearns than Mayweather has.

    So does Duran... Hearns was not just powerful, his punches were so sharp and accurate, if he landed a right hand like Mosley did, Floyd would go. Personally, I think Mayweather would be able to frustrate Hearns and make him miss like Benitez did, but how would Mayweather set up his offence? Hearns by wide UD

    I think Floyd could possibly survive to a lop-sided decision loss. He'd have to make it very ugly and boring, but I think he could do that.

    If he gets macho, he gets stopped.

    This is the worst match-up I can think of at welterweight. Even if Hearns was feather-fisted I would favour him against Floyd, but he's swinging dynamite in either hand.

    Tall long guy with good hand speed ATG jab and power. Who could box with the best of them. PBF couldn't outbox Hearns he would be beaten at his own game. How does he win?
