    I always thought duran was 5.8 and hearns 6.2, If he is wearing some lifts and hearns is slouching then it might seem closer.

    Hearns is not really that much bigger a guy than Duran. These pictures prove it. No wonder they always fought at the same weights and the same opponents and later each other.

    how does that even make sense? hearns has the frame of a lightheavy whil duran probably shouldnt have fought passed 147. Just because he kept on fighting and was couldnt keep his weight down he ended up fighting at 160+ hearns was just getting bigger by the time they met.
    Hearns is easily 6.1/6.2 in his prime.
    Remember him helping bradley earlier this year, timmy is about 5.6 and hearns looked like a giant, he also towered over leonard and hagler.

    Hearns is hunched over and you can see he's stood a little behind Duran.

    Duran is stood straight up and is wearing a hat, as well as being in the foreground.

    Hearns isn't hunching here!! Hearns looks about 4 inches taller in the picture. This is not a giant standing next to a little guy. If you see them here you can see how they would match up well in a boxing ring.

    Duran is a few years older than Hearns. He would shrink before Tommy would!!!!!!

    fact is Hearns is not slumping down or anything. They look like guys who would fight in the same division and against each other. Absolutely. This picture proves it!! They fought each other and like 5 or 6 common opponents.
