    Take a look at this, Hearns vs Roldan is a war!!!!

    Both had big power and Roldan's handspeed was surprisingly fast, I wish these two were around to fight GGG I so do.......

    Hagler vs Roldan is a cracker too while it lasts.

    Roldan is a bigger, faster, stronger, harder punching version of Maidana and Hearns had him down 4 times and out in less than 4 rounds. This fight exemplifies what makes Hearns more special than the safety first, Floyd Mayweather. Both are excellent boxers, but, Hearns can brawl with the best of them as well when he needs to. What a war!

    It was guys like roldan, Hagler and andries that brought out the warrior in Tommy. Men that wanted to lock horns and rumble. He may have lost a few battles along the way, but no one could say hearns didn't have a fighters heart. ​

    As good as GGG I think both of those fighters would have been very dangerous for him, I didn't like the way he reacted to Jacobs putting the heat on him God knows how he'd react with these two trying to take off his head.

    This, along with the one punch KO of the highly regarded and unbeaten James Shuler was probably Hearns best showing at middleweight.

    I think if those guys could retake that exact fight 10 times I still don't think we would get a clear picture on a victor, Roldan could very easily spark Hearns out.

    Yeah, Hearns barley survived that fight. The fight always cracked me up because he made Hearns look so chinny.
