Tommy Hearns vs Felix Trinidad @ 147, 154, and 160.

Hearns KO's him at every single weight.

And it's not cuz he is from the 80's. He is a better boxer and if they get in a slugging match he hits harder too.

 

maybe Trinidad has a shot a 147 (I doubt it) but he was no chance at all at 154 or 160.

 

In a slugging match I think Tito has a chance because they are pretty close in power though Tommy hits harder but I think Tito has the better chin. However Hearns could easily outbox tito, hearns by KO at any of those weights.

 

In these kind of matches I look at it if they fought say 10 times, because there is always a chance that either can win on any given night.

At welter- Hearns 7 times of 10
At jnr welter- Hearns 8 times out of 10
At middle- Hearn 9 times out 10

Tommy had that kind of chin that could betray him at any time against a lesser (but still elite) fighter and Tito had the punch that could KO him. Thats why I say that even though Hearns has him in just about every department, there is a live chance Tito could land a finisher.

 

Tito would have to go for broke..and hope he does not get caught..remember hearns controls the distance with that jab...you seen how winkys jab offset Tito...Hearns at any weight.

 

147: Hearns by KO
154: Hearns by KO
160: Hearns by KO

 

Hearn’s had a devastating right hand, one of the best in boxing history and a jab that was truly something. Tito does not have a iron chin, I don't even think his chin is that much better then Tommy's. Tito never fought a fighter with a job and sharp devastating right hand like Tommy.

 

man tito hearns would be 50/50 toss each and every time they fight because hearns could beat tito by tko or ud but he's in serious danger of being ktfo too

Tito only lost to fighters with atg defense & atg chins in winky & hopkins !

 

very good statement. hearns has superior boxing skills but he is no bernard hopkins or winky. tito has a good chance

 

and Oscar :yep

 

I doubt employment would come into it.

 

This one all depends on what Tommy wants to do. If he is troubled by Tito's power, he would box the pants off him for a 7-8 rounds before an eventual KO. If he's not worried by Tito's power, he pounds him out within 4-5 rounds. The fact is that Tito is there to be hit with a good strong jab, and a solid landing Hearns jab was usually followed by a crushing straight right.

KO, all three weights. Tito simply does not have the skill to implement his power consistently upon Hearns.

 

Thomas Hearns no Hopkins or Winky? He's perhaps greater than both of them - Wright for sure, Hopkins arguably. Overall, at his best, he was damn near impossible to outbox.
