    So if Hearns, Felix Trinidad and Julian Jackson, had all being swimming in the light Middle waters around the same time, what's the result s?

    Hearns was more proven than the other two beating Duran and Benitez at 154 so I`d lean towards him, I feel his long jab would be the difference, however a bout between him and Jackson would simply be a case of who landed the big one first, both were better than Trinidad at setting up KO`s and finishing, Trinidad never stopped anyone as good as Duran or Norris, but all of this trio would push the other close as long as those fights lasted and rematches could have differing outcomes also.

    Hearns was a better more complete fighter than the other two.
    So in my opinion if he fought the other two ten times each he wins
    eight or nine of them.
    Jackson vs Trinidad is very interesting. Both fighters were
    very similar when they are compared.
    Both punched lethally with either hand, both were technically
    sound, both were shaky in the chin department, but both were
    warriors whom the opponent had to beat, they wouldn't give
    the opponent a victory.
    I'll lean to Jackson in a spectacular but very short war.
    He was the naturally bigger man. Trinidad was at his most
    dangerous at welter, but as he went up in weight he began
    to struggle more.
    If they fought ten times I think Jackson wins six.

    I don’t like Trinidad’s chances v either of them. At all.

    You can’t be flat footed v Julian Jackson or you’ll be obliterated

    Funny part is that each of them could knock the other 2 out. Having written that, Tommy comes out on top.

    That's what I had in mind writing it, Clint.
    Any of those fights could and more than likely would, see the other flat out.

    I do like Tommy winning but facing those two?? It's a quandary.
    Against Jackson, the danger is, Hearns is smacking the hell of him, think of Barkley in the first fight, then Boom!!

    And Trinidad had a habit of getting kd, just to get up and beat the other guy. So we could even see that happen.

    I've got a bloody headache thinking about it!

    It would be a spectacular round robin. I'd favor Tommy as well but there's a ridiculous amount of firepower here and all of these guys could KO each other.

    Nice one Flash, I agree, Trinidad v JJ is a recipe for war.

    I think I'll go for Hearns he had a great jab to go with his power,and we saw what Winky did to him with his jab.I'd expect several kd's in these fights but I'm not alone in that I'm sure!

    Hearns was better than both of those guys. But their punching power combined with Hearns sometimes shaky chin would make them a risk factor

    Hearns would probably be the favourite too I should imagine going in, I'd pick Tommy. But I'd not be putting cash down, I'm not that confident. Lol
