    At Middleweight and Light Heavyweight. I think Hearns wins decision at both weights but Tiger could rough him up and knock him out. Thoughts?

    Err, I think I'm too biased to be taken seriously here. As I can see Hearns winning a wide UD. But something's telling me that's not right.

    Tiger hurts him bad enroute to a wide decision. Might even stop him around 10-11

    Tiger by TKO after being shook a couple of times. He was durable and dirt tough.

    I see a good fight between Thomas The Hitman Hearns, vs D. Tiger. Tiger the shorter of the two had a good chin at middleweight, and was a very tough fighter. Hearns does pack a wallop, but Tiger would get under that tall reach, only to attack the thin rib cage of Tommy, with hard blows. Tiger may get decked once during this fight, but will last the distance because of durability, D. Tiger wins a razor thin decision after 15 rounds, he is used to fighting the distance.

    I think Tiger would perform better at Light Heavy against Hearns than at Middleweight.

    Tiger had difficulty making 160 and felt stronger when he moved up.

    Tommy against Tiger at middle, Hearns would bust his face up and Crack him to the body.. But I fear it does not bode well for the Hit man. Dick battles through these punches from hell, to Crack Hearns so hard it makes Hagler s punches seem like love pats!
    Tiger by vicious ko.

    He was durable but Bob Foster did a paint job and laid him out cold.
