    I know we have discussed this before, but I love this matchup.

    SRR obviously possesed it all, but Hearns boxes beautifully from the outside, uses his range, and has an eraser.

    I favor SRR in the fight, I think he being the great fighter he finds a way to beat Tommy, and eventually Tommys chin betrayes him around the 8th or 9th round.

    But still, you have to give Hearns a great chance.

    At 147, I would go with SRR by late rounds stoppage, but Hearns would put a hurting on him before he fell.

    If they fought at 154 or above, I'd go with Hearns.

    Hearns is a load for anyone. Tough fight. Another great dream match idea.

    I would say SRR by a mid round stoppage... Midround considering 15 rounds.

    Hearns outboxes SRR for few rounds and then starts getting caught.

    SRR via KO rounds 8-10.

    Hearns would give him some trouble for sure at first but I think it would swing towards Robinson's fight fairly quick.

    Hearns cuts Robinson, and has his moments, maybe even leads on points after 7 or 8, but Robinson savagely knocks him out , emphatically that is in 9.

    Robinson was forged steel from the era when great fighters FOUGHT everybody. There were no chicken**** Roy Jones type games played. Hearns, as great as he was, would have ended up just like Turpin in that second fight with Sugar Ray.

    100% agree. It wouldn't be a boxing match for long as SRR would see that wasn't going to go his way.

    SRR by KO in the 7th. Hearns would get on the bike long enough to get into the middle rounds.

    The question is, if Hearns hits SRR with that right hand, does he go down?
