    Floyd isn't being knocked out.

    Past his prime Mosely really hurt PBF in the their fight and he isn,t anywhere near Hearns league with power. If you couldn,t get Hearns respect ( and Hearns would have ZERO respect for fFoyd) Hearns runs right though him. Do you honestly think the shoulder role and trying to hide out, evades Hearns blistering jab and nuclear right cross ? SRL had way more power and will to win than PBF to somewhat keep Hearns at bay. I think Hearns runs right through a FRIGHTENED Floyd...

    mayweather stylewise always struggled with strong jabbers. its the perfect shot to offset that side on backfoot style.
    Hearns had an all time great jab with a hundred feints all working together and set up on a different level. But the advantage hearns had over all of mayweathers other opponents was that behind the jab came one of the finest, most deadly right hands in all of boxing history. after the right came a vicious left hook to the body. then the jab again. walk in to hearns and he takes your head off, back off and he pulverizes you with the jab. then takes your head off. ray leonard eventually got to hearns but he was a big puncher with an aggressive outlook and was far superior to mayweather in my eyes. hearns was a monster at welter and a real champ who took real fights.

    You must watch totally different fights to the rest of the world. NO ONE has come close to outboxing Mayweather including that Argie ****** who has twice now claimed he did.

    If he is to be beaten it will be from sustained, educated pressure, not like the dick head Madaina punching thin air most of the time, or arms and gloves.

    That said I believe Hearns can walk through him due to his size and reach advantages.

    Hearns should win a decision. It could get interesting if Floyd finds a way to take his jab away. Floyd would have a better shot over 15 for the same reasons that Leonard won.

    Hearns wins a wide decision. Floyd, on the run all night.
