    Tommy's size, speed, and jab are very problematic for Mayweather. Hearns wide decision.

    Hearns.

    Rangy, quick, excellent boxer, but most of all, a ferocious puncher. Hearns will need only one good shot to break something. Mayweather just doesn't have the guns to take on Tommy.

    I've always thought this would play out a lot like Hearns-Benitez. Mayweather would fight to survive like Benitez did and he'd probably last the distance in an uneventful Hearns UD.

    Any Hearns version beats Floyd, Motor city cobra gives him the jab all day, Hitman knocks him out within 6/7 rounds.

    Not a fair matchup. Floyd was already around 36 years old and stretching himself at jr. Middle which was a far more ideal weight class for the much younger Hearns. This is a mismatch.

    Hearns. There's no fathomable way Mayweather could win this. Stylistic nightmare for Mayweather, and a better point-scorer.

    Hearns has got a great shot at a KO/stoppage.

    No idea why Floyd agreed to fight Alvarez in such an unfair fight.

    For my money Hearns takes it on points.
