    Tyson would knock him out real quick, inside 2 rounds. Hearns has a fragile chin and Tyson's style is poison for him

    This. Hearns wouldn't be able to put a dent in Tyson.

    Don't be silly. Hearns would be totally destroyed

    I really cannot tell if you are kidding. I hope so.

    Hagler had an ATG chin-for men who competed at 160 (before day before weigh ins).

    His chin would not be so great, maybe decent or good , fighting elite same-day 175 LHWs.

    He would not have a good chin vs. mid century HWs.
    Whatever weight he came in at.
    Against modern size HWs/SHWs, his chin would be, at best, below par.
    Same goes for someone like LaMotta.

    It was scientifically proven that Hagler's skull was so dense he could be dropped from 100 feet head first and survive the impact. Tyson's best punch would have no affect whatsoever.

    He wobbled the GOAT with a right hand, Tyson was knocked out by a feather fisted Douglas. Now do the math.......

    1) Hagler was near the top as a MW< not the GOAT.
    2) Douglas was no feather fist. But an under achiever most of his career.
    3) Tyson absorbed far more blows than Hearns did in their respective fights.
    4) You must know that Douglas could hit harder than Hagler, & dwarfed him in every way.
    5) No Hagler could hang with a half-way decent Douglas, who boxed well & was 6' 4", 83" wingspan, 231 in shape vs. Tyson.

    C'mon Wass, you are talking nonsense.

    Maybe Hearns Ko's him, if he hits him in the back of the head. In an alley. With a crowbar.

    Why would he want to do that when he carries a stick of dynamite in his right hand......

    I'mnot sure if you are a good troll or a bad one. Good I think.

    The scary thing is he's serious. He's been a Tyson critic for years now, but this time he's really not making sense

    Wass your arguments for Hearns all apply to Spinks as well who was bigger and stronger. I bet you would pick him too if the fight hadn't happened

    If he'd had gone to see the Wizard beforehand he would have won that bout......
