Would Hearns have just been to much for the likes of WW's like DLH, Tito, and Manny?

    I think Tito would have lasted a little longer than most people are given him credit for. he still gets destroyed by Tommy but I think It would take Hitman a little longer to size him up..

    And was yet again on the verge of being stopped down the stretch. Give it 3 more rounds and it's a repeat of the first fight.

    Over 12: Hearns
    Over 15: Leonard

    He said that during the legendary nights series for the Hagler fight

    I think Manny said he made a mistake by having Hearns come in a pound or two under 147 for the Leonard fight. It might of led to Hearns being drained in the later rounds. I'm not sure anyone would beat Hearns at 147 with prior day weigh ins

    I think Hearns would beat all of them. Tommy did have a vunerable chin and if he got careless Tito could stretch him on any given night. Hearns was the better boxer than Trinidad so he should be able to get to him easier.

    DelaHoya has no chance and would try to run from Hearns which would make it borderline funny. He would get hunted down and brutally knocked out.

    Manny no chance.

    Oddly a guy like Ike Quartey might have the best chance. His physical strength, big jab and awkward style may thrown Hearns off just enough.
