    Tommy Hearns is my favourite fighter of all-time, but I have to agree with the above.

    Yeah, when I first watched it I thought he was dead; looked like a corpse.

    Roy never showed a shaky chin in his prime; Hearns did - and at lower weights against lesser punchers.

    Whoever lands the heavy artillary first. My money would be on Jones.

    Highly unlikely.

    I think Roy would have a relatively easy time with Tommy.

    Four or five rounds, maybe less.

    Close your account. This fight wouldn't even be competitive. RJJ would clown Hagler worse than he clowned Hopkins and Toney, and Hearns worse than all three of them. Easy, easy night for Roy. RJJ is the best MW who ever lived, and 2nd place isn't even close to him.
