    Hearns weakest weight was middleweight. He was knocked out by both Hagler and Barkely plus Roldan bouced him around like a basketball until Hearns finished him off. I don't think Jones has their power however. So I give Tommy UD decision.

    I want so bad to pick Hearns. But RJJ would probably dominate this fight, and present Hearns with a larger and likely quicker puzzle to solve than SRL with more power to boot. I see RJJ in a largely 1 sided fight through 7 rds and stopping the Hitman in 8. I would cheer for Hearns and hope...but in my heart I already know

    Roy dominates and stops Hearns. Simply a far better middleweight and more talented to a significant degree. Not a difficult call.

    Jones, Jr. quite significantly possessed more power than both.

    Hearns by decision. Hearns fought better guys, but he would have to be the Virgil Hill boxer in this and use his jab. Going for the knockout would leave him open. I pick Hearns , if it was Hearns at his best or Jones at this best?

    Hearns by UD. Hearns has that reach and good jab. If Jones takes risks, he will get knocked out, do not see it happening though it is not his style

    I think Roy Jones would knock Hearns out.
    Inside 5 rounds.
