    What light weight fighter would you send in to demolish prime Hearns at 147?

    The Robinson that fought at lightweight would be my pick. But demolish is not necessarily one I'd be betting on for anyone. I don't really understand the motivation for the thread though, honestly.

    Demolish Hearns at Light Middle Weight? I don't think so.

    Anyway, ODLH has a decent chance to beat Hearns IMO

    I don’t think anyone at 135 demolishes Hearns but if I had to send someone in to beat him, I guess I’d go with Henry Armstrong.

    Do they weigh 135 when they fight Hearns or do they just have to be a former 135er?

    Can be an ex 135 but it would be interesting if they came in at 135

    I don't know. Hearns probably always destroys Duran. Like Tyson and Spinks. Every version of Spinks likely gets KTFO by prime Tyson. Certain things just wasn't meant to happen by the universe. Spinks beating prime Tyson or Duran beating prime Hearns just wasn't meant to be.

    The best LW boxer (Duran) already got KO’d in 2 by Hearns. No natural 135 pound fighter could ever beat Hearns.
