    I see no way for Mayweather to win this fantasy match up. Hearns is all wrong for him.

    Hearns via KO.

    Yes, it's the worst match imaginable for Mayweather in his weight range.

    No one really thinks Mayweather wins this.

    Some might think Floyd based on loving Floyd and thinking he will just beat everyone without ever watching everyone fight.

    But Floyd can't out box Hearns and he sure as **** can't knock him out.

    Floyd need that long arm and speed advantage to enable his straight right and his lead left hook.

    I see it going more like Hearns-Benitez, where Mayweather spoils and Tommy wins on points.

    I think mayweather is a genius in the ring, but it’s a bad match up stylistically, mayweather can’t win on points and he doesn’t have the offensive skills at welter to put hearns away. I say hearns wins by ko or a very wide decision

    You’ve got to brawl to beat Tommy. Nobody is out boxing him.

    I think Tommy had a bad hand in that one and in the end it was a majority decision win. I see a wide win vs Floyd, if not a KO

    Hearns ko 3 ....Thomas Hearns is a stylistic nightmare for Floyd ....more than Duran or Leonard...if I had to pick one guy to beat Floyd it would be Hearns

    I actually think Mayweather would try to walk Hearns down ...like he did Zab Judah and Shane Mosley...but he would fail

    Hearns hurt his hand in round 8.

    Still continued to win rounds.

    He didn't have a broken hand against Leonard though. Leonard simply didn't allow him to land the right, and Mayweather wouldn't either. But like Leonard, Mayweather won't be able to mount much credible offense either. Tommy wins a clear decision but I don't see Mayweather getting blasted out.

    The chances of Mayweather losing here are 0.0%

    On what planet would he take this fight? Hearns is one of the few I'd pick over Mayweather at 147 pounds.
