    HEARNS-One of the greatest fighters of all time,a true Great legend,really tall for a welterweight standing at 6,1,known for his powerful left hook and devastating right hand combined with destructive punching power in both hands.
    Vs.
    MOSLEY-One of the best fighters in the last decade,a legend as well,known for his great speed and agility,possesses extraordinary power for a welterweight,hes also known for his very hard granite chin.

    MY PREDICTION-Hearns by a very competitive,but clear UD win,I see Shanes speed giving Hearns problems for a couple of rounds,but I see Hearns connecting with more effective power punches due to his unusually long reach and height and thats what will basicly win the fight for him.ONE MORE THING.....I believe Hearns will never even come close to stopping Mosley,Shanes chin is just too indestructable!!!

    If they're both at their best, Hearns by stoppage. Just watch Vernon Forrest, who was not even in the same universe as Tommy Hearns.

    I'd give Tommy the edge. Seeing Shane get KD'd by a taller guy, I see Hearns KOing him. Hearns got both power and speed.

    Hearns probably by T/KO. I don't care how good Shane's chin is, everybody can get knocked out, especially when you are facing pound for pound one of the hardest hitters in history.

    Shane struggles with tall boxers with a good jab. Hearns by late round TKO.

    Says it all.

    Oddly enough, I DO think Mosley could edge out Leonard, however.

    As has been said above, the taller rangier fighter is what troubles Mosley. Hearns sticks the jab as he needs to and bangs the solid-chinned Mosley out. This one likely ends in a stoppage for Hearns.

    Hearns wins this one. Shane clearly struggled against a taller fighter who knew how to use his range in Forrest. Vs Hearns, he fights a man who not only was taller and could use his range with the best of them (ever that is), but also someone with ATG power. Cant think of one scenario Sugar takes this outside of a flask KO.
