    None. The only boxers that beat him are the 1s that can adapt to going on the attack.

    At 175 I would comfortably favors Roy Jones and Michael Spinks to beat Hearns. Below that Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong would probably do it. I imagine there are likely more than people would think

    As great as he isn't unbeatable and he could be hurt as we know. I don't think any boxer could fight all the greats and not take losses.

    I think some posters are either trolling or misread the thread title.
