    And one of the first times Toney connected with Nunn he didn't knock him the **** out?

    Get real, it can and does happen to a lot of fighters.

    And if you need to see Hearns taking Leonard's shots, go watch their second fight.

    one stoppage in 62 fights is hardly devastating.

    Nunn at 160 has credentials. Schooling champs like tate and kalambay. Decisioning barkley and roldan. Beating up a few welters.

    Hearns is quite overrated head to head at 160-168 to be honest with you.

    Nunn was ridiculously lucky against Kalambay, as I'm sure most are aware.

    I see Toney taking the UD in this one. His defense would win more than anything.

    I think if hearns not careful with his right hand he can get countered hard by toney, who's best counter is against the right.

    omg toney would **** hearns in bad fashion. why do you think steward would not let the two spar? cos he didnt want toney to get hurt, right? NO! its obvious.
    no ones ever had him out of on his feet. he's been hurt but you cant really tell if he's hurt.

    to answer your naive question, NO.

    No way is Hearns blowing Toney out. Toney has an excellent chin and is pretty hard to land solid on as well. I also think Toney has a good shot at winning this bout. Nice matchup of styles but if anyone were to get stopped in this it would be Hearns.

    He could blow Toney out.

    If he tagged him with a sneaky straight punch the way Reggie Johnson Toney would be ****ed up and out cold in a round or two.

    Hell if that had been the straight left michael nunn tagged kalambay with then Toney would have been knocked cold.

    It's just not probable.Maybe he would blow him out one out of every 20 or 30 times they fight.

    Toney wasn't hurt by Reggie Johnson and look at the shot's he took against Jirov and Peter. There's no way Hearns could blow Toney out. Toney KO'ed Michael Nunn and Nunn had a better chin than Hearns.

    If they fought
    Toney by KO 10th round.

    Tommy Hearns couldn't crack an egg compared to guys like Rahman and Peter.

    So, no.

    No way. I think Hearns might win a decision here but it certainly ain't out of the equation that he could be stopped himself, tough matchup to call.

    I too reckon that Hearns would beat Nunn. Against Toney is a close'un, it sorta depends whether or not Tommy can avoid a brawl.

    Hearns would outbox Griffith to a decision victory, and I also think he'd beat Gavilan in a tight one. I'd make Napoles slight favourite, but as always Hearns would be a definite 'live threat.
