    Serious? Come on, Tommy Hearns would have destroyed every single one of these guys today. Pacquio a a southpaw would be out cold with Tommy's vicious right hand, Mayweather would have ran all night, and Tommy would have outboxed him any day of the week, and eventually knocked him out. zzcotto, forget it, not even close. You're talking about Hearns that outsmarted and outboxed the greatest combination of defense and offense in Wilfredo Benitez, Destroyed one of the all time greatest fighters ever in a rRoberto Duran albeit it, Duran was old and past his prime, you're talking about a Hearns who went to war with Hagler and had him hurt, and you're talking about a guy that had one of the greatest fighters in history Sugar ray leonard all but beat. Mayweather and the fighters of today would have been destroyed in that era, These guys are good for their era, but please, they would have been annihilated back in those days.:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    i would pick Thomas Hearns to win every time against anyone at 154 and 147. If he and Leonard never fought. I'd pick Hearns to win. Not only was he really good. He was really big/long.

    When has Jr every fought anyone taller than him? Big strong finishing fighters have always been off the Menu.

    Hearns has stylistic advantage over Sexy Sergio. Martinez does not like strong fihgters that can pull the trigger down the middle very quickly as it disrupts his rhythm. Hearns was one of the best at throwing his right straight down the middle (ask cuevas)

    Mayweather would not fight him. But if he were, he would run for 12 rounds trying to jab to the body and be wholly smart in his boxing. Not enough to stop a fighting machine like hearns. Eventually Hearns would land a big right hand and I would not be surprised to see Floyd be knocked down.

    Cotto would get raped. Simple as.

    Canelo would get knocked out at some point during the fight.

    Pacquiao would get stopped aswell.

    Let's be realistic. Tommy over a period of time would get KOed. It's hardly fair to say if prime Tommy Hearns was in the division because it's absaloutley loaded with taken. If he fought the top 10 over a period of 3/4 years, he'd lose at least once.
