    The type of elite middleweight that Hearns should be favoured against.I think Kalambay would give Hagler more trouble than he'd give Hearns,who always fared well against the boxer types.

    Yes, Hearns just uses his speed, jab, workrate and range to control the outside as usual against boxers and if Kalambay changes tactics and tries to go aggressive, he will be more likely just to get stopped himself due to the lack of raw power.

    I'm not a huge fan of Hearns at middle, but you still need to be BOTH sufficiently heavy handed and durable enough to take advantage of the kind of weakness he started to show defensively at the weight.Unlikely to out-finesse him without a range advantage.
