GGG vs Thomas Hearns

Blasphemy.

 

This matchup would be a replay of either Hearns/Barkley or Hearns/Roldan...no inbetween. Someone's getting starched.

 

Man, I love GGG, but I want to see more from him before I make a proper evaluation.

Sure, Tommy is chinny and lost by stoppage at 160, but check out the guys who beat him. Marvin Hagler is an ATG middleweight and an ATG badass. And Iran Barkley can bang.

I'd at this point Tommy will outpoint GGG, but I'll surely change my mind if he manages to clean the division filled with Sexy, Geale, Chavez jr, Qullin, and Pirog.

 

I'd definitely favour Thomas, he is a better boxer, taller, longer reach and he is faster, he can also fight off his backfoot..
GGG will only beat him if he catches him, but I actually don't see that happen, Hearns is much better than GGG

 

Sugar Ray GGG by KTFO -1.

 

Golovkin took out that beast Lajuan Simon (who lasted a FULL 12 rounds against Abraham) in 1, so I'd expect Hearns to be dispatched of slightly quicker. Someone like Hagler by contrast has an outside shot of lasting 2.

 

Great analysis. Would you say Robinson in 3 or 5?

 

lol

 

Hearns has much better boxing ability and even at 160 there is a chance he can take out GGG at any moment, however GGG certainly also has the power to take our Hearns. I think Hearns movement and speed would allow him to land first on the much less athleteic GGG and I think Hearns right hand would ****ing devestate GGG.

 

Golovkin can't really be put into these sort of fantasy match-ups yet he has not accomplished enough yet.


Hearns by stoppage

 

Hearns because he's from a bygone era.

 

hearns cause he actually beat a world champion

 

Hearns by UD or stoppage GGG only chance is a lucky punch
