    Hearns had one of the best jabs in history. He used a flicker jab which is like a whip motion, he also jabs and pulls their guard, or pushes them off balance to open them up for his chopping right. His one-two punch combination laid out so many of his opponents due to his jab set up.

    Crawford's jab doesn't come close, nor does he have the ability to land a simple one-two with such ease. Also at 21 years of age Hearns was fighting SRL, not long after fought El Radar. Crawford is 30 and the level of his opponents don't even come close. He will also struggle to have success in the higher divisions, whilst Hearns did decently at MW/SMW and beyond.

    I would wait until he stops guys of higher caliber before saying he can stop guys at this caliber. Khan? Amir has a very bad chin and it has failed him in all of his important fights. A good fight for him would be Porter. To compare how Spence and Crawford fight the similar fighter. Although Porter had a tough fight. That Spence fight might have changed him.

    What rock has this fella crawled up from?? There is no comparison. There is nothing to suggest Crawford has Hearns like power.

    Lol, not even remotely close to Hearns…. not even on the same planet.

    Hearns had a nuclear bomb of a right hand and punched holes through people.

    Hearns was a fantastic technical fighter. I say thats a toss up between the two.

    Something tells me you haven't watched much Hearns.

    Maybe the OP will agree?I still can't get my head around someone sat behind a computer,sniggering at the replies to his B.S.?
    Those who are off base and believe in it I understand but this trolling thing still baffles me.That said I've never been a fan of practical jokes so I'm wondering if it's those types who do this s***.

    Crawford`s KO percentage is far higher than Fury`s, but Hearns was devastating.

    Hearns fight against Benitez was one of the greatest chess matches of all-time, Bud hasn`t beat anyone even near as skilled as Benitez was.
