    You guys must have never seen Hearns fight.....
    He beat exceptional boxers like Benitez.....if he fought Hopkins...he would
    not fall prey to Hopkins sneaky punches and perpetual holding.
    Hearns kept an out of reach distance while being able to accurately measure his opponents and unleash the low kept jab and the furious right.
    Hearns would definitely knock out Hopkins....
    Hopkins is a hugger who throws people off their game...nothing more.

    Hearns was a great fighter, but this is a bit too much, especially in MW.
