    Shawn Porter vs Thomas Hearns would be a war.

    No-one at 160 or below, and that includes Canelo, Floyd and GGG. Hearns beats them all.

    Would Floyd even fight a prime Hearns? All I'm seeing are a lot of Mexicans & 35 & 40 year olds on his WW roster.. certainly no one comparable stylistically or with the threat level of a peak Hearns. Floyd never seemed to like fighting the 'athletic urban' types much lol .. & certainly not an ATG 6, 2 inch kronk great with the pedigree & power of Hearns.. fk me Floyd barely beat an old Oscar at LWW.. you think he'd beat Hearns? :lol:..

    Floyd scared off Paul Williams and would fight Hearns? He would duck him for eternity and if by some miracle he did fought he get laid out.
    No current welter or one of the last 10 years is beating Hearns.

    The jab is all hearns need and obviously the right is there if needed

    I do think GGG at least has a chance with his granite chin and relentless pressure

    Not sure any of the current guys beats Thomas Hearns at 147 pounds as he was just awesome. Floyd is TBE so he will find a way to win.

    No doubt, I think Hearns would put up a fair effort, but Floyd would get the best out of him in the end and win in good fashion.

    Interesting, Both Canelo and ggg can take huge shots can't say the same thing about Hearns, I see Hearns beating them until he starts getting hit with huge shots, as for Canelo we know he's getting better after every fight still don't know how much better he's going to get
