    Absolutely spot on, IMO. Floyd lacks the power to make something work against Hearns. Hearns the boxer is virtually impossible to get to unless you are willing to take shots and have some good power. Floyd will never get past the jab and he wouldn't produce enough offence to get a decision if it went the distance. Bad match-up? Entirely agreed.

    So Hearns is overrated even though he should rightly be 2-2-0 instead of 1-2-1 against SRL/Hagler/Duran. And SRL is properly rated even though he should be 2-3-0 instead of 3-1-1 against the same three men? Alright, man. If any of the big 4 are overrated it's SRL, not Tommy.

    Hearns and SRL would decapitate Pac. Pac would do well to make it to the 3rd round against Tommy. Duran would beat him 99 times out of 100 anywhere from 135-147. Too strong, too durable, hits too hard. Pac would go to war, Pac would get stopped by the better man.

    You can have your opinion about how Floyd is somehow the right style to get past Tommy's jab, but I think you could not be more wrong. I favor all 3 heavily against Floyd and it's no indictment of Floyd's abilities. Tommy and SRL are just naturally much bigger men. Tommy's reach is an inch shorter than Wlad Klitschko's for god's sakes. Their skills are not overrated, they are properly rated. But think what you like, man.

    Someone will do it when they fight 4 times. Until then their first fights look like this.

    Didn't MAB have a brain scan and a fire at Big Bear leading into their first bout, too?

    The worst thing is, a lot of casuals might believe that just because he said it.

    Lost some respect for Manny lately.
