    A case of who could land their bombs first or Hearns simply dominating and wearing down Jackson with his boxing skills?

    Both guys had suspect chins. If Hearns stays on the backfoot and boxes he has very good chance of winning this fight and even knocking Jackson out. If Jackson can get Hearns into a brawl like Barkley did than Hearns is most likely getting brutally knocked out.

    Hearns sets the pace behind his jab then ko's Jackson early.

    Jackson wins one time out of ten.

    Look what Graham did to Jackson... With Hearns power - the chinny Jackson is out.

    Different levels of fighter. Jackson is not half the overall boxer Tommy was, and pretty much only has a puncher's chance here, I feel.

    Hears is too quick, too rangy, too polished. Unless he gets overconfident and gets decked by a haymaker that is. I don't think Jackson has it in him to live with Tommy on a skills basis.

    Neither was Barkley and he beat him twice, Hearns has got to be favourite but could he survive the bombs McCllen took from Jackson??

    This is one scary match up .. I don't see it going long .. a coin flip but have to favor Tommy.

    The two hardest hitters at 54, ever IMO. Hearns can box and stay out of reach, Jackson can't, and just a matter of time before he eats a right and and goes face first like Duran. 2 or 3 rounds.

    Yes.. Because hearns had good chin and Jackson did not hit harder than him, BIG IDIOT

    I see it similarly to you. Hearns overall better skills contributes.
