    I get the feeling that this would be better at 175lbs
    at light heavyweight, it's the Hearns from the Andries fight, not later on when he returned to light heavyweight
    Who wins this matchup at each weight?
    168lbs:
    175lbs:

    I think Andries might have been able to beat Pascal. I would pick Andries. Andries was not bad. He was crude as the word to describe him was, but he was strong and awkward and later he developed a decent jab.

    Hearns wins possibly by KO because Pascal is like a poor mans Andries, very sloppy, but has decent power and he will leave himself open to be hit with the right hand, Hearns did struggle with pressure fighters, but he struggled with ones who were strong, had a tight guard and tucked their chin in, not ones who swung wildly and left their chin in the air and had poor balance, that played right into Hearns's hands
