    He would get taken out like Duran, but earlier..

    Mosley is one of the dumbest elite fighters ive seen.

    It would look much like when Hearns knocked out Duran...

    That shot would KO even Mosley.

    Beat me to it...

    Though that shot would have taken out even a Prime Mosley... One of the hardest shots P4P I have ever seen landed.:good

    Hearns had all the advantages Forrest did over Mosley... Except Hears was faster, more powerful and all around better boxer than Forrest...

    Horrible style for Mosley...

    Very true.. Mosley couldnt throw a straight right hand to save his life.. HIs wide looping punches and his tendency to trade makes him vulnerable to Hearns' straight right hands... Hearns did everything better than mosley.

    I think Tommy would have taken them If he was hit with them, would have hurt him for sure though.

    I honestly don't think he would have been hit with them though due to his style. Mosley has trouble landing on those taller longer fighters.. The same reason Mayorga was able to land on Forrest and knock him out, despite Shane not being able to land and truly hurt him.

    I know Hearns is not known for the greatest chin... But you have to realize he did face elite punchers... Mayweather may have folded against the elite punching ability of the fighters Hearns has faced, that we don't know for sure.

    I didn't ask if Mosley could land on hearns or not, cuz of course he wouldn't landed clean on him. I just ask how would Hearns chin had taken them ? but you have a good point. :good
