    Hearns fought better against taller guys than shorter guys at times. I think his right hand would be landing clean and he would stop SRR. Hard for people to see, but Hearns right was better than anything Robinson ever saw.

    I'd give tommy Hearns a chance against any welterweight throughout history, except SRR. Tommy's boxing skills were very underrated, but he would be drawn into a war with Robinson who had awesome power. Tommy, as we know, didn't have the greatest chin ever, whereas Sugar had a great beard on him.

    Robinson knocks him out in four in a similar fight to Haglar - Hearns

    Robinson is more proven in damn near every area. He's too much for Tommy to handle.

    Ray had a great chin and was pretty durable. I give Tommy Hearns a chance against anyone but Ray is not considered the greatest fighter ever for nothing.

    It might go the distance and even be controversial one way or the other in a decision on an off night for SRR, Tommy was amazing. HOWEVER, best for best at the weight, I can't see it going the distance. SRR would stop him.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    Tommy would have to be able to inflict heat stroke to stop SRR.

    Duran is usually in the top 5 P4P, and had a great chin that was very durable.

    I love love Hearns, but damn it he would have been knocked out. SRR by mid round KO.

    Whats the difference if people knew about his chin ?... you are asking us - with all the knowledge we have now - who would win, are you not ? :huh

    Anyway... Robinson by stoppage, this would be a war & I see Tommy outboxing SRR for large parts of the bout similar to what he did to Leonard but as much as Tommy has an underrated chin (IMO), I dont think it can take a peak Robinson`s best for 15 rds.

    Robinson hit harder than Leonard with both hands & if SRL could put Tommy away within the limit then I`d favour the original to replicate that great feat... I wouldnt be suprised to see Ray on the canvas, probably on a flash early KD but once both got right into battle mode I`d fancy SRR to take Tommy out.
