    Yeah. Its pretty cool, they just updated the forum, and its pretty fast and simple to use, including the userface. Besides, this is the best boxing forum there is.

    I post at another site which is really cool too. But at times you wait ther for 30 mins with no response from no one so it gets boring. This place is fast. I like it. I also post at espn but they have to many crappy threads that just turn me off. This place is refreshing.

    I disagree with Roy not being defensive minded....

    The fight is a toss up Roy's offense was his defense when he was prime he'd catch you slipping real fast something that would stun you and then he'd finish you.

    Tommy would just flat out sleep you if he caught you!!!!

    Based off how Leonard stunned Hearns and how Tarver smacked Roy....i get a toss up:bbb

    Thats not a good comparison. Tarver stop a very faded Roy, Leonard, who doesnt poses the power that Tarver has stopped a prime Hearns. Put it together and you have a Prime Roy beating a prime Hearns.

    James Toney is a midget who did not have the power of Hearns. Nice try though. Back to my original question:

    What happens when Hearns hits Roy like he did Duran?

    Really, then why was his nickname "Lights out" You think he carried a lightswitch with him to the ring?

    What happens to Hearns when a more powerful fighter then SRL hits him flush with a shot he may not see?

    His name was lights out because dude was going around laying ppl out. You dont get that kinda name by being weak!

    And we all know how Hearns liked to be laid out. (SRL, Barkley, Hagler):p

    Both have very questionable chins. I think Hearns hits harder, The speed is damn close to equal. Hearns early,1st or 2nd rd. After that, it goes the other way. Jones by mid rds. stoppage. If Hearns can get to RJJ`s chin early, he had the power and speed to finish him. Unless of course Jones lands first...

    I think Hearns would be a nightmare for Roy. It is styles, but TH's chin would fail him before Roy's did.

    Jones TKO 6

    I put that together based on the way the fights ended...

    That's why its a toss up...

    Who had Roy fought up until that point could crack like Tarver???

    Sugar Ray Leonard wasn't very powerful but he was fast like Roy would be at Middleweight and when he stunned Hearns he finished him.

    Hearns could crack and it was proven later in Roy's career when he got tagged with something of substance he couldn't take it.

    And sense Roy's career is about over and Tommy's is done it really makes it easier to match them prime for prime because you've seen the highest peak of their skills and you've got a chance to see their flaws that have always been there but were yet to be exposed.

    Tommy had never seen a Roy and Roy had never seen a Tommy.

    So the fight is a toss up whoever lands that devastating punch first wins.
