    Yes PBF would have to worry about HEARNS speed. Yes Hearns could KO Judah pretty easily but Judah is no PBF. Hearns would have to box against PBF. And yes, PBF has a slight advantage in skill over Hearns, but Hearns is very fast. By the way, I did see the Benitez fight, I loved that stare down at the beginning. In that fight, you could see the type of speed Hearns had. Hearns was very fast

    I don't think Floyd would be as successful as Benitez against Hearns. I think he'd get stopped down the stretch. Benitez's greater size and ability to quickly counter due to his reach and upper body movement at least allowed him to get off at times against Hearns. Floyd wouldn't be able to, and his shell defense would not work nearly as well against Hearns, as he'd still be getting hit, just not flush, unlike Benitez who slipped and weaved with the best in history along the ropes.

    I'm not knocking my Hearns at all, he's one of my fav's.

    Now thats where I disagree. I know PBF would be able to do everything Benitez did, but better, and some more.

    Tito was a durable puncher then. "Brawler" is a rather spurious categorization.

    Biaised. It only takes basic boxing knowledge to answer this question, and you do not seem to have it. Styles make fights.

    No way Mayweather intimidates Hearns :lol::lol::lol:

    How can Mayweather outbox Hearns when the bigger and better Sugar Ray Leonard couldn't do it and had to use his power on Hearn's suspect chin to win. You underrate Hearns speed and totally overrate Mayweather. Yes he is great but I would favor a bunch of guys over him specially at welterweight. Hearns KO's Mayweather and KO's Judah too.

    You need to watch more fights.

    *30 minutes before fight time*
    Mayweather: So, you think I could get a little kiss for good luck?
    [p4pdabest kisses him passionately]
    Mayweather: Think I could get a little blow job for good luck?
    [p4pdabest sucks him passionately]
    Mayweather: **** that was good.
    [p4pdebest stares into Floyd Mayweathers eyes]
    Mayweather: Get off my Kool-Aid mother****a!

    Can you elaborate on the advantages PBF has over Hearns? Who has more advantages? Do you really think that PBF could outbox, or outwork Hearns?

    Old ass DLH. :rofl Jab :rofl

    Anyways, Hearns UD 12. Too big, too fast, too much output for a guy like Floyd who doesnt throw as much. But if anyone things he gets stopped, they are crazy. Floyd has a great chin and the best technical defense in boxing history.

    I can't think of anyone that I would pick to beat Hearns. In boxing size matters espicily when like Hearns a boxer with a size advantage knows how to use it. Were not talking about who has more talent/skills. Boxers like Whitaker and Mayweather are both more talented/skilled than Hearns but I would not pick either to beat Hearns. I can't think of anyone who I would pick to beat Hearns at 147.

    Tito has a good chance against Tommy. Like most punchers, Tommy's chin was shaky. Mayweather has made plenty of HOF fighters look like amateurs, so you're being a ****ing idiot totally discounting his chances against ANY WW, including Hearns. DLH has a good chin, a monster left hook, fast hands and good size at WW.

    You people (some of you) are amazing, and totally hilarious. You just WORSHIP anyone who looks mean - Pryor, Duran, Hearns - and take it to STUPID levels. Tommy had great boxing skills, great power and a shaky chin. He is an elite HOF level fighter, but he's not un****ingbeatable. He's not as good RJJ p4p, imho he's not as good as PBF p4p. He's not ****ing Ali.

    It's fine to have you opinion and ride the jock of your choice, just don't be a total ****ing moron about it.

    Tommy had a shaky chin because it took Ray Leonard 14 rounds to knock him out. Should only take PBF about 7
