Thomas Hearns (Andries fight) vs Bernard Hopkins (Tarver fight)

Hopkins had problems with Taylor because Taylor had a very good jab and guess what? Hearne jab is levels above Taylor's jab.

 

Good post.
Now you've got me wanting to switch my pick.

 

Andries was brutally strong yet couldn't rush or bully Hearns inside. 5 years later Barkley was able to be very competitive inside but that was a diminished worn out hearns not the 1987 vintage who was never outboxed by anyone and who destroyed 2 division strongmen in Roldan and Andries . Hearns was well on his way to doing that with Barkley first time round until he got careless.

Hopkins will be outboxed on the outside. If Taylor and Dawson had his number so does Hearns

 

Yehh I agree, also worth mentioning is that Tommy crushed Roldan, a guy that stopped James Kinchen.
