    This! I'm sorry but ATG is thrown around way too often nowadays. MAB was elite but not ATG. You can make a case for Morales to be ATG he beat some elite fighters. But neither of them touch Tommy!

    He knocks them all out. Floyd could survive if he fights very defensively though. But seriously, most fighters don't go undefeated. Tommy could be caught and hurt.

    Hearns IS the prototype of the modern 154-160lber, Hagler for me was the last of the old guard, the smaller, but tougher generation. Hearns was a great ww, but I think Duran, Robinson, and other talented, big punching welters could beat him at 147. 154 Tommy was at his best nearly unbeatable, 160 still great, but someone with a good chin and power could beat him. Only one that has a shot today might be GGG, but that's 50-50.

    He would lose to someone he shouldn't.

    But Holy christ, imagine him fighting Broner or someone of his ilk (because he would have to fight some of those middle ranked guys). Hilarity would ensure.

    I agree with the general opinion that Hearns would have beaten any WW or SW right now.

    That includes Pac and Floyd. Hearns beats both in dominating manner.

    Floyd may survive but would have lost nearly all rounds.

    Still Hearns decisions Wright in dominating fashion.

    Hearns was the more skilled boxer and the bigger puncher. Wright just did not have enough power, skills or the pressure style to KO Hearns.

    It's all opinion. But take this one and completely flip flop it and you have my opinion.

    I think he could beat all of them and KO most of them. Pac is way too small to be a threat imo and he would have to go through Tommy's straight rights and his jab all night long to land anything himself. I just don't see his chin holding up. I also think it would be a really bad match up for Floyd and his counterpunching.
