    This is a tall order, but imma do what I can:
    147:
    Robinson-Hearns loses by stoppage
    Gavilan-Hearns loses an SD
    Napoles-Hearns loses an SD, but might be able to force a draw
    Palomino-this is a toss-up, but I go w/ Palomino by late stoppage or MD
    Curry-another toss up, I have Curry SD
    McCrory-Hearns SD
    Trinidad-Hearns loses
    De La Hoya-Hearns loses
    Mosley-Hearns loses

    160:
    Greb-Greb UD
    LaMotta-LaMotta TKO 15
    Fullmer-close, but Fullmer SD or draw
    Basilio-either one by SD, very brutal fight in particular for both
    Robinson-SD for Robinson or draw
    Graziano-idk
    Turpin-close fight for a while, but Hearns UD
    Monzon-Monzon UD; Hearns would trouble Monzon until he got wore out though
    Toney-Toney UD or late TKO
    Hopkins-Hopkins SD
    Nunn-either one by an SD
    Kalambay-Hearns SD
    McClellan-McClellan by middle-round knockout
    Eubank-Eubank by UD
    Benn-this is tough since both were unpredictable chins, but Benn had worse stamina, very tough fight to pick, 50/ 50, either man by stoppage that's for sure
    Watson-either one by late stoppage or SD

    **** that. That's like 75 fights or something you want me to break down?

    Wow, you really don’t rate Hearns at Welter, do you?

    I’d outright favor him over all in that list but 2. I’d pretty heavily favor Robinson by T/KO and I’m on the fence in regards to Gavilan. I’d favor Hearns to beat the rest, mostly all by stoppage.

    I do have a mostly positive view of Hearns, I just think most of those welterweights are too good for Hearns.

    Exactly, these threads get boring after the tenth opponent

    I think you have a tendency to make posts in great haste.

    Only Robi beats him at 147.

    No-one at 154, McCallum has the best chance.

    Greb, Robinson, Monzon, Toney, Hopkins, Jones and McClellan beat him at 160. Undecided on Fullmer, LaMotta, Turpin and Watson.

    Basilio would have a good shot. Not sure why he’s listed at 160 and not 147, or I’d have mentioned him in my first post.

    sometimes that's true, but I don't have any problems with the outcomes I posted now

    Prime Shane couldn’t do much more than survive against Vernon Forrest’s height, reach, jab, and right hand. Not over two title fights was he able to figure out a way to handle that combination of assets (though he did better second time around). Yet you favor him to figure out Hearns, who is basically Vernon Forrest with the infinity gauntlet?

    I don't 100 percent agree with you, but at least you took a stance and defended it.
