Sugar Ray Robinson vs Thomas Hearns

Gave prime Leonard hell no doubt.... but he was still TKO`d & Robinson was a more dangerous offensive fighter than Leonard.

If Leonard did it then Robinson should be favoured to also IMO.

 

Thats all well & good but Robinson is usually in the top 1 p4p, is naturally bigger than Duran, a better fighter than Duran, hits harder than Duran & never took a 10 count in 202 fights from 1940-65 (age 20-45) in his professional career.

 

Hearns could take him, Robinson could as well, over 12 rounds it would be amazing. It could go either way, its a fantasy match I would love to see.

 

SRR would knock Hearns the **** out.

 

I think Hearns would do well against SRR, though he would probably fade in the later rounds and end up getting stopped.

If Hearns could pace himself and last the distance its a close fight. Hearns could box with the best of them and he easily ranks alongside SRR best opponents.

Hearns also had freakish power and there is always the chance he could land the perfect right hand particularly early on. However Hearns also had a reckless defence and could get his legs turned to rubber at any time.

Its a good fight and Hearns has a better chance than most. However I think SRR would find Hearn's defensive flaws early on and outwork him down the stretch when he tires; probably score a late TKO. That said Hearns is my number one so I voted for the draw! It is possible!

 

his speed wont bother hearns, hearns had no problem keeping up with leonard. Its his durability and his power which would be the biggest problem. Hearns was mad fast

 

Of what use is this sentence?

 

It wasn't so much that Hearns had a weak chin, it was his sometimes reckless defence. The shots from Hagler and Barkley would likely have flattened anyone.

 

Why, you dummy? Tommy got knocked out himself at 147 by SRL, and there are a couple other guys he didn't KO at the weight. As good as Hearns is, and he was really ****ing good, he's getting just a touch overrated these days. He's not beating SRR.

 

Hearns most definately came in too light for the SRL fight. 2lbs heavier and he would have made it 1 more rd and won. I thought he boxed the **** out of SRL (apart from the odd couple rds Leonard stole) until the 13th.

 

If pigs had wings, they'd be flying. What happened is what happened.

 

If I could travel back in time, I'd still bet on Hearns.

 

:deal

 

:good Yey i agree with this Robinson TKo 9.
