Ive been racking my brains about how Floyd can win this, and I cant come up with a conceivable answer. In his prime, Floyd maybe could outbox him using speed and footwork (in ultra defensive mode of course) but the relentless nature of Hearns means he catches up with him in the end. Hearns had good footwork and would cut of the ring and chop him down eventually. I see it being very cagey, but eventually Hearn walks him down and cleans him out. Hearns by late stoppage.
hearns, all day, everyday not even close. hearns could just throw his rapier like jab and occasional cross and at some point mayweather collapses.
Floyd would last less than Manny IMO. Pacqiuao fares about as well as Muangsurin, Floyd gets laid out. Shane rocking him with single right hands was very telling IMO.
Agree that Hearns had a better jab... And i said maybe. Floyd has great skills, great speed in his prime & good footwork.... But more more importantly, a great boxing brain. For those reasons i beleive (just my opinion) that he has enough no-how to survive until late on. No way does Hearns blast him out in a round. Floyd is to catious and good defensivley for that.
Yes i've seen the fight.. Im not saying Floyd beats him, not at all. I am just saying that Floyd has enough tools to survive until the middle/late rounds. Whats wrong with that???
I don't think he does. Outjabbed, outpunched, can't really hurt Hearns, lesser skilled, smaller, etc etc etc What next, Ricky Hatton Vs Ray Leonard? Because that's how much of a mismatch Floyd Vs Hearns is. Honestly! Totally different levels and a horrible matchup.
All fair enough mate, I think Floyd is totally out of his depth here and would show nothing of himself. Just my opinion! :good
And your opinion is one i very much respect... No way do i want to get into a gun fight with you on this one!
