    Hearns.. Crawford is absolutely world class, brilliant fighter, but Hitman was bigger guy and his style is the kryptonite to guys like Mayweather and Crawford at 147. He was 6ft 1 with a massive reach and power, try and get close? night night.

    Hearns. It's process of elimination.

    Tommy hearns was really never outboxed to a decision. Leonard, Barkley had to hurt him to win. Even the 175 fight with Barkley he clearly outboxed Barkley but Iran just had Tommy's number because he was too awkward to time and had enough power to really hurt hearns. I don't think Crawford is capable of knocking out hearns.

    If Crawford isn't capable of winning a decision and isn't likely to knock him out, how does he win?

    On the flip side, Crawford is much smaller guy and he doesn't have a high enough energy style to overwhelm hearns. I think hearns probably stops him though you never know obv.

    Hearns natural frame is way bigger.
