    The Hearns who beat Andrias was an A class LHW and if he'd bulked up would be much more solid, his power would not be brutal at HW, but it would be respectable. He'd also have skill/speed advantages.

    Again I'm not picking Hearns to win as hes unproven at the weight, if he was in a world without weight divisions and he was forced to fight big men, he'd eat his way into a solid 190lb fighter and compete with contenders with some success in my view

    Tommy Hearns knocks Jerry Quarry out..! Tommy Hearns would be dangerous for 5-7 rounds.

    In these 5-7 rounds, he would be landing bombs against Jerry Quarry.

    He would spark him out i think..!

    This has to be a joke. Jerry was used to fighting guys like Frazier, Shavers, Lyle, and Ali. Hearns wouldn't get through the first round.

    Just because the are bigger, does not mean they are better boxers. James Toney has stated that the best boxer...he has ever faced his Mike Mccallum.

    Tommy Hearns could spark him out..!!! it could go etheir way..! all i know is, Tommy Hearn's would be very dangerous for 5-7rounds.

    A punch coming from Hearns is nowhere near a punch coming from Shavers, Lyle, or Frazier.
    I don't think Jerry would even blink if he got caught by Hearns.

    Everyone who Tommy Hearns hit.......gets hurt.

    I'm talking about, pumping up at Tommy Hearns after fighting Marvin Hagler. Have him training with top sprint/track and field athlete's and power lifting.

    Pump him up to a solid and athletic 185pounds.

    He would **** Jerry Quarry up..!

    By far the better boxer..!!!

    I can't believe some of these posts. Jerry Quarry beats the living **** out of Tommy Hearns plain and simple. If MW's and Welterweights could knock Tommy out what do you think a very good HW does to him? A HW who is battle tested and accustomed to taking punches from real HW's. Some of them ATG's! Let's face it, Tommy's whiskers were not world class and his skinny legs often seemed to betray him. Simply adding weight doesn't change that. In fact it appeared to make him top heavy and a little off balanced at times. Hearns was a force at WW and MW but lets not go overboard here. Quarry takes a few, slips a few , works his way inside and ends matters within 3 or 4 rounds.

    The thing is,that if Hearns relied too much on powerlifting,it would just be solid muscle mass,and not FIGHTING weight. He'd be slowed up too much. Consequently even more susceptible to being caught by Quarry.

    Powerlifting actually makes you more explosive, sprinters powerlift for speed
