    Could Hearns at 160 lbs. stop:

    * Tom Sharkey twice (once was a robbery) in two bouts
    * Jim Corbett
    * Gus Ruhlin
    * Peter Maher twice in two bouts


    ...using the smaller gloves of the period?

    I don't think they had ambulances in Jeffries day.

    Still better have a weelbarrow standing by.

    IMO he would knock out Maher and Ruhlin, Corbett would win viá UD, and Sharkey would KO him...
