    There are probably a few, but not many.

    Roger Mayweather has specifically mentioned Hearns and Forrest at 147, tall rangy guys.

    I don't think you can get any worse than Hearns for any WW ever as far as bad matchups go.

    None worse then hearns how do you counter a jab that fast and long? He will force mayweather to take a risk that he's not used to taking like trying to land a right when hearns drops his left hand.

    Thomas Hearns is the worst match up for anyone at 147 and 154.

    No one over on the classic section is giving $ any chance against Aaron Pryor in a fantasy H2H between the two.

    While I can understand why Forrest and Hearns would be tough stylistically for Floyd, I'd like to throw a shout out to Sweet Pea as well.

    Void is afraid of almost everyone except a woman. When will Void beat up another woman? What kind of a person beats up a woman?

    He would struggle against a young Oscar who had a bit more stamina and faster, snappier jab, that caused his problems anyway when oscar was old
