I have a hard time picking a winner in this fight, but I'm leaning toward Sugar, but I wanted to see what you guys thought. I always say Hearns can beat any welterweight in history except SRR, but I never say it with much confidence :bbb SRR 109-1-2(72)? vs Thomas Hearns 32-0(30)* * I'm talking about the Hearns before the Sugar Ray Leonard fight when people didn't know about his chin
I almost can't pick against Hearns in this one based on what he did to leonard at 147 in their first fight.
I would pick Hearns to KTFO anybody at 147 ever without hesitation. I would bet my ****ing life on it.
I don't see why your having a hard time, Robinson had way too much of everything for Hearns, particularly speed and power.
SRR UD Hearns. Possibly SRR TKO14 Hearns or maybe even vice versa. I think it would be a good ass fight, and Hearns had enough power to possibly break SRR's granite chin. But unless Hearns does something dramatic, I feel SRR would do enough to most likely secure a decision.
That's always my initial reaction when Hearns gets pitted against someone at 147. I just always think of Leonard's face for the first 8 rounds of his fight with Hearns and that right hand that crushed Duran's skull. He even looks like he broke Hagler's nose in their fight and that was 160.
Depends how Robinson fights Hearns. If he comes in trying to outbox Hearns he would take some serious damage and might end up getting Tko'd. If Robinson comes right after Hearns then its a quick win for him, may end up eating a hard Hearns right hand but he'll likely survive it and end up Ko'ing the Hitman.
A similar height , but I think Robinsons speed and movement will be too much for hearns and over 15 Hearns is stopped late in a classic. Hearns really needed you to stand still to land that right hand , Robinson simply wouldnt be there.
