    This is just for fun. If you have given Hearns a granite chin to match his offensive arsenal and Pernell Whitaker explosive power to go along with his defensive skills who do you think would have been unstoppable/unbeatable?

    Tough call for me.

    Hearns he was already so hard to outbox and he hit like a truck. If he had an iron chin he would be unbeatable.

    Hearns has 7 inches in height on him and a 9 inch reach advantage. Has an awesome jab and a one of the deadliest right hands in boxing history. With all due respect to Sweet Pea, this would be a mismatch.

    hearns with a hagler chin would have been nigh on unbeatable 147 to 154
    even leonard at prime could not outbox him

    Hearns for me. The reason pea never had ko power is because he hit on the back foot. Pea lacked creativity

    It's difficult to beat Hearns even with his current attributes.
    Add a strong chin to it, we are probably looking at an undefeated fighter knocking out Duran, Barkley and outpointing Leonard and Hagler.
    He will give Sugar a run for P4P best.
