    How would the `Hitman` do against a true 175.lbs champ ?? Hearns nuclear right hand against the Foster`s explosive left hook...

    it would favor Foster. They are similar but Hearns was more versatile and moved up in weight better than Bob. Bob would win this one. I hate to say it. Just too natural at the weight and too strong, but I wouldn't be shocked if Hearns could land his right and stop Bob. Punchers chance for Tommy.

    Foster would kill Hearns.

    Foster. Similar fighter, but naturally bigger and more powerful. If Hearns was badly hurt by a past it Leonard at SMW, just imagine what Foster's best would do to him.

    And Foster would land. He always did, and Hearns was always caught by good shots by fighters that he didn't enjoy huge height and reach advantages over.

    Foster lands a big shot early. Tommy goes to sleep early.
