    Pacquiao is no Hagler.

    Comparing Margarito to Hearns is like comparing that guy in the pub to prime Mike Tyson. You know, the guy in the pub that talks about beating up Tyson on the street.

    Why? It's a toss up who does better. Just cause Floyd lasts longer doesn't mean he does better. It will look similar to the Benitez fight, where Benitez was basically on the defensive all the time and avoiding Hearns shots fairly well but couldn't do anything else. But it will be worse cause Floyd is so risk averse. Pac likely gets stopped early but at least he's got the slight chance of catching Hearns with his power and angles. Pac will take the risk, Floyd will not. And if Pac does land, there's a higher chance of him hurting Hearns than Floyd. They both lose but I just don't see why Floyd does better.

    Pernell Whitaker is more skilled than Floyd. Besides that, Pac puts the fear of god in most fighters with P4P maybe the most powerful left hand in history. Hearns said he'd box Pac for a reason! And Hearn isn't a guy that's afraid to go to war.

    At that time, it'd time to log off and prepare for the Revelation and the 4 horsemen.

    Hearns successfully campaigned at Light Heavyweight past his prime why are we doing this to Manny? :(

    This is like embarassing. Tommy was a light heavy champion manny started his career as a flyweight. This is like RJJ saying he would have beaten duran at 160 like probably but who cares their weight ceiling is your floor

    Hearns was damn near impossible to outbox he had trouble when he decided to got to war instead of boxing. With that said boxing or going to war he kills pac either way

    Hearns would dwarf pac in the ring he's too small and has no chance he takes a savage beating before being koed. Atleast pbf would last could counter and box move and win a few rounds. Not saying he beats Hearns but he does better against hearns than pac does.

    I disagree he's simply too small if he was bigger yes but he's not.

    Duran fought well v a killer at 160 like Hagler and floored a banger like Barkley, Tommy`s KO ratio was better at 147 than Roy`s was at 160.

    1,2 all night long

    Pacquiao needs to take it easy early then step up the pace later on, slip in on him when he slows.

    Hearns 1-2 was one of the best in welter history.
