How Many Welter Champs Beat Tommy Hearns?

Bloody short list when you really think about it.

 

Seconded. That has pretty much been my opinion on anyone beating Tommy Hearns. I'd favor Robinson, Burley, and of coarse Leonard.... Gavilan, Rodriguez, Griffith, and Walker are fair shouts. But I think Hearns would edge them at welter. It's a short list.

 

Leonard and Robinson ahd Gavilan

I think Luis Rodriguez, Emile Griffith and Micky Walker could do it as well.

A guy like Felix Trinidad would have a live puncher`s chance but I wouldn`t bet $ on him. Hearns was the better boxer.

Hearns was an uncommon talent. A great offenisve force but I do believe there are some guys that could take him into deep water the way Leonard was able to.

 

Mayweather has a great chance. **** you.

 

Leonard fot e dreind vershen of Hearns .
Paul Williams stands e beter chanc dan most giv him
Not det I necesarily pik him 2 win bat Williams shur hed beter tuls dan eny1 els
WSJ iz e pikem bat I du anderstend Y hi iz konsiderd e feivorit in zis
If Burley stud ap 2 Archibldo Wright , Ezzard Charles*2 end Lloyd Marshall den Tommys wud probably not bomb him aut . Burley stud d best of chances 2 drawn Tommys in dip woter & stop him l8 if Burley ken b rigarded e WW (I du anderstend it b/c I hev no dabt det Tommys woz e biger men dan Burley, bat den d seim holds 4 Hagler)

Meibi Starling , Molinares (pancher's chanc) , Brown , Aaron Davis & Jose Luis Lopez stud e chanc ez wel

 

At 147, aside from Leonard who did, I'd only be 100% confident in saying the real Sugar Ray.

 

Robinson and Leonard would. Carmen Basilio would also be a threat.

 

Nah; he obliterates Basilio. There to be hit by far slower men than Hearns.

 

He moved his head pretty good though your right he did get hit because he was so aggressive. I do think Carmen had the chin/balls and durability to do the job though I wouldn`t be sure about it.

I saw Carmen take one of Ray Robinson`s A+ hooks flush and not really budge.

 

That must be on the same planet that Razor Ruddock jabs like Larry Holmes.:smoke J
