    Hearns is a better fighter but Benavidez is all wrong for him at 175 just like Barkley was.

    Benavidez is too big and physical and he would rough up Hearns and bully him to win a decision.

    I've only seen it once but from memory Barkley floored Hearns early breaking his nose ? And then Barkley bullied him along the ropes for large portions of the fight.

    Hearns landed some good shots and was competitive but for me Barkley clearly won I think something in the region of 115-112 ?

    OT: 175 Hearns was hardly fleet-flooted, Benavidez just grinds him down up close.
