    I'm undecided about this one. Hearns has the tools to win no question, but Bernard is one of those cagey, intelligent fighters that will never be beaten 100% conclusively. He has the tenacity, guile, innate toughness and craftiness to make this an interesting fight.

    Ironically, I don't think Hearns' vaunted power will make much difference one way or the other. It's his boxing skills, speed and overall physicality that will be the factors for Bernard to overcome. If anyone is going to win this by KO, it's probably Hopkins, oddly enough.

    I'll lean toward Hearns, but this is a tough fight to call.
