From what I've seen Tommy didnt have the best chin himself. What makes you think Tommy wouldn't be the one to cave in? One good shot will do it. Ask Iran Barkley
Pea, Leonard may well have hurt Hearns during the 7th. But from what I recall it was the 6th round when Leonard stepped inside and had Hearns all over the place for the first time. First fight I'm talking about.
Can't see how Norris can win this. He can't out box him and he can't out slug him. Would be exciting for as long as it lasted. No more than 3 or 4 rounds before Tommy put him to sleep.
I would favor Hearns as well, but some of you are underating Norris boxing ability. He wouldnt be simply outclassed and knocked out within three like some of you are saying.atsch
Norris gets underrated because of his losses I think. Best career 154-pounder in my opinion. Not the best to fight at the weight, of course, but the best lifer there. A genuine badass when he's on. I still think Hearns will be too much for him ultimately though. The reach, the height, the elite boxing ability. But I wouldn't write Terry off.
