Tommy Hearns would beat almost any Welterweight in history, including PBF and Margarito. He almost beat SRL, who is probably the second greatest Welterweight of all time. Tommy by early KO.
This is as far as I needed to read before finding an opinion which essentially reflects my own. Good post.
Hearns didn't KO'd a few of weaker fighters then Margo, so I don't think he will win by KO. Clear UD for Hearns.
This would be much more competitive than Hearns but in the end it would be the same result a Ko loss for Margo. Now I know you're gonna say he's never been stopped, but you could've said that about alot of fighters before they fought Tito. Margo just gets hit too often IMO.
what !!! this is at light middle weight and prior to this Duran had destroyed davey more at 154 and went the distance with hagler at 160 Duran was a full fledge Jr middle .. and Hearn had also KO full fledged Middles and supper middles so don't act as though Hearns KO was some type rare occurrence because Hearns was the only man to KO Duran Cold .. The Only man to knock Duran OUT cold.
The same duran that beat SRL for the welter weight title , the same duran that KOed Cuevas , the same Duran that KOed Davey Moore , and the same Duran that took Hagler the distance. but after He was KOed by Hearns do you guys bring into question that he was a former light weight ,, that is straight bogus **** ...
Hearns was only stopped 4 time his entire career, he was only TKO once at 147 the other 3 times was above his fighting weight of 147.. Tommy did not have a chin problem in his prime at 147, and margarito is not a expositive puncher 147 , so any idea you may have that Tony would only need one punch to even the odds with hearns then your sadly misstated because his chin was solid at 147. Margarito gets stopped in this one , hearns was a excellent body puncher , and he could bring the **** to the body with ether hand. margarito would not have the same luxury he did with Cotto by protecting his body and taking head shots and coming forward, against a puncher like Hearns this is the worst idea, it would be on par with wearing bacon under wear in a lions den, everything is not going to be OK.
This is purely the funniest most NUT-TICK exposing thread I have seen in a while. Same people who say "Don't ever mention Paul Williams and Tommy Hearns in the same sentence" say "Margarito's chin and power can take him the distance against Tommy Hearns" Same people who say "Williams ain't fought nowhere near the all-time greats that Hearns has" say "Hearns ain't never fought nobody like Margarito" When does the madness stop?
