Prime HEARNS v Prime MANNY

c'mon hearns was a huge ww that could box and had a MONSTER punch. It's not a fair match up.

 

I'd sitll take Hearnz in this match up even if he began his career at 130 instead of 147

 

Remember, Hearns was 6′ 1″ and Manny is like 5'6'". Hearns is not Antonio Margartio although he punch like he had loaded gloves. Hearns was fast and had a hell of a jab. Now I remember he out jabbed Sugar Ray Leonard. Manny would put up a hell of a fight but Hearns would he wouldn't get past that jab and if he hits Manny with one of those right hands that Marquez hits him with at will, Manny goes to sleep!

 

Hearns easy and quick

 

The first huge right Hearns lands will drop Pacman for the count via Duran. Hearns on a whole diffeent level.

 

Like Manny would even get into the same stadium as Hearns without a 122 lb catchweight.

 

How bout a 5-6 Hearns vs. a 6-1 Pacquiao?

 

I'm just waiting for Gander to post something.

 

Exactly... This is the fifth thread with this title i´ve read in the last 12 months.

 

Pac started at flyweight and will end his career at welter. Hearns was a huge welter who ended his career at cruiser.

 

Hearns dominates/decapitates every welter-superwelter from his era to this day. Everyone.

Maybe.... just maybe Oscar survives 12 rounds because of his iron chin, his decent size and the fact that Hearns doesn´t carry his power into the later rounds.

Julian Jackson has a punchers chance. Tito too.

Floyd survives because of his hermetic defense, but wouldn´t even try to pull counter Hearn´s jab. Too ****ing risky.

 

Oscar, Trinidad, Mayorga and Mosley had a shot to beat Hearns.

 

Because they were not smallish flyweight starting pros to begin with.

 

So? I'd still worry about Manny's chances against the best lightweights and Junior lightweights.

 

That's your problem and that's beside the point.

The fact is, Hearns started at 147 and grew up even more massive, Pacquiao is maxed out at his weight, He doesn't even weigh 147 at the scales.

He's at a tremendous disadvantage.

Which makes this discussion already as pointless as it is.
