    If Hearns was around today, he wouldn't win one championship, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven

    There's a cleveland boxer named Willie Nelson (no lie)..He's got a little bit of Hearns in him with the meanness and body.

    Check him out.

    And ohhh yeah, Hearns would ***** slap both these fighters and beat the "SUE" outta Pac, beat the Money outta May.

    'Never lost my respect for Hearns. I was a Hearns fan, not a Leonard fan.

    Hearns is one of the most popular boxers in the Philippines of all time. A little lesson for you about the land of *******s.

    Hearns would have made Floyd or Pac his ***** at 147. No one at 147-154 now would stand a chance against him. He was a freakish combination of size, skill and power. Most people remember the size and power but forget that he was an amazing boxer with great movement as well.

    Indeed:good.. he was pretty much never outboxed in his career, if you wanted to stop him, then you had to eat that right hand and get to his chin, which wasnt easy lol

    Hearns fought a stupid fight against Hagler, but let's not pretend Hagler didn't land multiple low blows and elbows either.

    Hearns is my favorite fighter and the sad truth is neither Pac nor Mayweather would fight him. Fighters like Mosley, Martinez, P.Will and Oscar wouldn't have blinked though.

    what should he have done though? hagler took his best punches and kept coming even if hearns had tried to create distance and jab him from the outside hagler would always have gotten to him and landed those bombs.

    Whenever I think of Hearns the first thing that comes into my head was when he got into the ring with Duran he just looked like he was going to murder someone. He was one scary dude. I can't see anyway that Mayweather would have had the balls to fight him and Arum wouldn't be up for Pac fighting him either.

    Nope, I dont agree...

    It went Brawl Because Hearns was a WARRIOR. Hearns sure had footwork to get away from plodding Hagler but Hearns wanted to put up a FIGHT.
