Could Tommy Hearns Have Beaten The Following..?

If favour him over all of them.

Taylor is the best, but he doesn’t have the style to beat Hearns, and the rest just aren’t good enough.

In a real life scenario, Hearns probably drops an L to one of them, but individually I’d favour him over all of them.

 

Jermain Taylor would be an interesting fight as he had similarities with Tommy. He had identical reach and height plus also having similar attributes in having right hand power, speed, and a good jab. The only problem is Tommy basically does all those things better while also being stronger, faster, and even arguably having a better chin at middleweight. I picture this fight being similar to the James Shuler fight, only that it lasts a little bit longer.

Julio Cesar Chávez Sr. could be competitive if Julio was bigger and a natural welterweight, as his style would cause Tommy trouble. But when looking at it as how it is, the size disparity is just too great. It would end up being another blowout like the Cuevas fight.

Kelly Pavlik, I haven't seen much outside of the Taylor and Hopkins fights, so I may be biased on this as Tommy is my favorite fighter. But looking at Jermain giving Kelly a good fight in both their bouts, I'll give this one to Tommy, as he would give him the same problems while also having the better intangibles to win.

Haven't watched much of Lee and Barker.

 

Hearns would beat them all. He could potentially lose a fluke to Pavlik, but, should really dominate this lot. Taylor has a terrible Ring IQ, and would definitely lose to Hearns. Chavez is just too small for Hearns, and Barker and Lee just aren't good enough to beat Hearns.

 

I'd back Hearns to wipe the floor with all of them.

 

Spot on!! On board 100% with this analysis!!

 

Taylor reminds me of James Shuler for some reason and that worked out pretty well for Tommy. Maybe Pavlik has an upset chance because of his unorthodox style and power, but I'd favor Hearns to run that table over and over quite a few times before an upset occurred.

 

He beats them all.

 

I thought they meant Chavez Jr. Dad waa just too small.

 

He takes the first 4 no problem, then perhaps a light lunch and then Andy Lee. Good nights work i'd say......

 

He would've gone undefeated against all of them..............would've stopped them all except Pavlik.

 

Ohh sorry I thought you also meant Julio Sr. at first. If it's the son at middleweight, then Tommy stops him easy. Hell, he might even quit on the stool after Tommy busts him up for a few rounds and makes him look lost trying to catch Tommy on the move.
