Probably along the lines of an abstract version of Tyson ko4 prime Holmes Just a guess though. I'd take Hearns by decision, unless Whitaker had a pit more of a punch than he had shown.
The fact that Hearns will own him from the opening bell and Whitaker has no business in the ring with a guy like that.He would be thoroughly humiliated after being coldcocked.
I think even others who pick Hearns would openly admit Whitaker lasts longer than 2 rounds. The prime Whitaker at 147lbs has a much better chance. Duran was weight drained, and rumour has it he came down from 180lbs three weeks before he shared a ring with Hearns. With Hearns' devaststing power, anything is possible. But Whitaker's far too defensively astute and smart to get caught with heavy bombs early. A flabby Duran and a prime welterweight Whitaker are different animals. As I've stated previously, Hearns KO or points. If I had to stick my head on the chopping block, TKO after 10.
Well, Benitez was more than able to deal with him at the weight he fought him at. Pernell facing Tommy at 147 is like suicide.
Benitez vs Whitaker at 147 would be a damn hard fight. I think you're discounting Benitez a bit, no drama losing to Hearns and SRL is there?
If Sweet Pea can't outpoint Tommy he can't win - I cannot think of a worse match-up for him. I happen to think that Pernel could last the distance but Tommy can knock out anyone if he is in the mood and the punches come off (and he doesn't break his right hand). It would not shock me at all if Tommy put down Sweet Pea for the straight 10 count. It could also be a Benitez-style slaying but with a much wider card. Hearns by UD, KO or TKO in any round from 1 to 15. Think I covered all the bases there.
tommy could quite possibly ko pea but a prime pea prolly lasts the distance...really bad matchup 4 sweetpea
I think that this is actually the first fight where I've picked whitaker to lose , bad style match up for Sweet Pea. Hitman Hearns by Decision
