    Everybody's going to pick Hearns to win in this one, but that is not my question. My question is, does a 150 lb. Floyd Mayweather go the distance against "The Hitman" Thomas Hearns who lambasted Roberto Duran in two rounds? At WW, I say Mayweather goes the distance but loses a wide UD, at 154 I think Hearns stops him late.

    Hearns doesn't stop him, Mayweather isnt taking any risks, would get on his bike, use his defensive skill, spoil, and potshot to keep Hearns honest. Around that time Sutherland, Benitez and Minchillo all went the distance with the hitman

    The best Floyd can do is go into a defensive shell, but even that's only delaying the inevitable.
