Would Calzaghe Ko Tommy Hearns?

Heans by decision. probably scores a KD

 

I can see tommy getting busted up for the tko loss to this guy. He sure is going to get hit a lot. And he does not have the legs or balance to move out of the way for those Calzaghe follow up shots after Joe lands the first punch.

 

Hearns does not want a southpaw that throws 80 punches a round. That translates to tommy absorbing like 30 to 35 punches a round. And he stays in ring center and not forcing Hearns to the ropes like a Barkly did. Tomm'y legs would give out after about 5 rounds and then he'd get peppered.

 

It’s amusing when you tie yourself up in knots without realising it.


Yes, everything you’ve said above is correct.

Tommy was done at SMW in 1989.


He was also robbed of a win over Leonard back then.

A shot Hearns beat Leonard in 1989.

Even Leonard admits it.


Yet according to you, Leonard wasn’t faded afterwards in the 90’s.

Brilliant.

 

He really wasn’t.

 

Hearns of the Hill fight outboxes, possibly knocks out any version of Calzaghe. Levels to this.

 

Hearns is overrated at the higher weights. I see lots of people say Hearns even beats Hopkins at 160 and above. Impressive against Hill but Blasted by Barkley, life and death with Kinchen and just doesn't have the resume to compare to Calzaghe at super middle.

His performance against Hill was impressive but Hill never took it to Hearns. Calzaghe would whether if he got outjabbbed or not and his speed and workrate is far above Hills.

 

Saying Hearns is overrated compared to Slappy Joe is honestly hilarious to hear. I've seen a prime Joe get outboxed in a domestic level fight vs Robin Reid, I'm strictly talking about Hearns vs Calzaghe at 168, not sure why you're bringing up Hopkins which is an entirely different discussion. I just don't see Calzaghe's slaps causing Hearns any harm, Hearns has the longer reach, better jab and the better boxer overall. Calzaghe doesn't have the style or physicality to bum rush Hearns like Barkley did, I see it as a technical match in which Hearns comes out on top.

 

Hearns while not at his best at the higher weight is VERY underrated.
Andries who was tough and very durable got stopped by Hearns.
Hill was a very good boxer and Hearns Outboxed him.
JC is going to get busted up with that jab and NOBODOY ever Outboxed Hearns.
Not to mention that straight right-hand is going to be one of the most dangerous punches JC has ever gone up against.
Barkley who is a much more massive puncher then JC couldn't stop Hearns in the rematch and he put a TON of pressure on Hearns.

 

Cool. I've seen multiple great fighter struggle with mediocre opponents early on in their career. Ive also seen Hearns get sparked out by Barkley, and barely survive James Kinchen, Kinchen never even being a champion unlike Reid. It's not going to be a longrange technical fight. Calzaghe was a pressure fighter and he would take it to Hearns. He won't try and outbox Hearns like hill tried. He'd be agressive and one of those punches might just put Hearns out. He was technical angular come forward fighter and had good pop before his hand injuries, I'd assume you knew that. The size difference is small as well.

Calzaghe might get dropped but wears Hearns down with his speed and extremely high punch output. Above 160 Hearns wasn't all that. He was a great welter who didn't do much impressive at middle and super middle but did show impressive ability at LHW against Hill. But to beat an ATG at the higher weights with the style like Calzaghe ? I don't see it. Calzaghe could quite literally outwork Hearns to a decision. Doesn't even have to knock him out

Yes Hearns is overrated, but thats if you're saying he beats an ATG like Calzaghe. This isn't floyd mayweather. He was an ATG was one of the best welters in history and did decent moving up but he's not at an ATG level above middleweight. Not even close

 

Calzaghe would only fight Hearns at the end of his career. He feasted on washed up big names

 

Mikkel Kessler would give Hearns all he could handle at super middle

 

I believe he meant banger "of women".

 

So Kessler is the biggest name he fought who was actually in their prime. Sorry but that is weak
