    With 24 hour weight ins.

    A Prime Hearns will probably come into fight night at 6'2 and around 174 pounds or some ****.

    What can he do in today's 154? Will that actaully have a negative effect on him?

    Carrying that much weight? Obviously he don't have to re hydrate, but in today's era it just seem unrealistic for someone as big as he is NOT to re hydrate.

    I think everyone is just too small in today's era.

    The WW Division actually got smaller in terms of height.

    Is there even a top 10 WW over 5'10?

    I'll like to say Mayweather and Cotto give him a tough fight, but I honestly don't see it.

    I see Cotto coming out and getting badly badly hurt by the first range finder jab that Hearns land.


    I see Floyd on his bike for 12 rounds and making larry Merchant rage non stop.

    Maybe Pacquaio can beat him at a catch weight of 148?

    Imagine someone as big as PW with super boxing skills and power (though not as great at 147 but still...)

    Floyd wouldn't dare go there, Cotto, Canelo, Lara among others would be probably beaten up badly.

    No. Hearns would rule 147 and 154 today.

    The poll is incomplete.
    there should be an option "Floyd Mayweather avoids him like fire, claims steroid use"

    I could see him having trouble with some, but ultimately beating everyone at 154.

    I don't know if some Floyd fans understand

    that a 6 inch height difference and what will most likely be a 20 pound weight difference is just too much to over come.


    Hearns arguably have equal skills to Floyd, or close enough. So it's basically someone with similar skills but much much bigger.

    6 inches and 20 pounds in a WW fight against two equally skilled boxers might as well be

    Prime Lennox Lewis vs Roy Jones


    That being said, I'm not studying Floyd like a lot of posters are doing on here, so I don't know everything about the Goat Slickster of today's era. Will be nice to have a Floyd Professor break down how Floyd can beat Hearns

    Floyd Mayweather would do what he does best...he would duck him.
