    Canelo would get crushed. Hearns=legend.
    Canelo=protected money boxer.

    If you had a big punch you also had a chance of sparking him out, Barkley showed this.

    It would have been the mexican version of duran getting ko by hearns in 2 rounds

    anyone can be knocked out with a big punch. Roldan had a big punch and didn't knocked him out. Timing and everything else. Hearns was only knocked out 3 times in almost 70 fights, and given his opposition that is not bad.

    Sheeeeit! Can elo is no Cuevas or Duran chinwise and his defense couldnt stop Gayweathers straight rght.
    This is another quick Hearns put him on his face KO to go with all the other little fellers who tried.


    And failed.

    Hearns. Outboxes him smoothly and lines up a cross to take his head.

    Canelo is similar in height and reach as P.Cuevas and R.Duran , with the latter being a mile better. ( Do you believe Mayweather Jr would survive Duran? Yeah I thought so) expect the same results . Hearns by Ko between 1-4 rds.

    And my poiny was that just because hearns was never outboxed, it doesn’t mean he can’t be outboxed

    Hearns points, just by sticking the jab out, Canelo likes to keep low work rate and outbox opponents nowadays, but this wouldn't work against Hearns, you have to have quick feet or a high work rate to beat Hearns and Canelo has neither of those, I pick GGG over Hearns though

    I thought Hearns peaked at 154 pounds, around 25 years old. He's too much for Canelo
