    I'm a huge Hearns fan and would pick him over a lot of people that I probably shouldn't.

    Mike Tyson isn't one of those people. That's all that I have to say about that.

    Another reason why Tyson would destroy Hearns super fast is that Tyson was a great friend of Duran and would look for destroying the man who destroyed his friend. Tyson told Ali he would get payback against Holmes if he had the chance for the beating Holmes gave Ali. Most boxing people should know this.

    He used to eat scones in between rounds, is that the behaviour of a scared fighter?

    For Hearns to even be competitive he'd probably need a baseball bat and a bodyguard. And even then I give Tyson 6-1 odds.

    The punches Hearns knocked Andries out with were as hard as any punches Spinks ever threw at light heavy.

    He would have hit an early 90`s Mike a lot more a welter Floyd though.

    Hearns knocked out Andries who was a light heavy, he hurt the iron chinned Hagler at middle and destroyed James Shuler in a round, he knocked out Roldan, who Hagler didn`t look convincing against, he decked Benitez at light middle and sparked Duran in one of the best KO`s ever in the light middle division.

    Mayweather couldn`t knock out light heavies and started ayt super feather, Tommy`s biceps were around 15 inces at super middle when he fought Kintchen, Ali`s biceps during the 60`s were around 15 inches.

    Hearns would have knocked Alexis out easily at welter.

    Tyson would have easily beaten any fighter that never fought in the heavyweight division though.

    Hearns didn`t punch harder than Ruddock though.
