    Barkley, Leonard and Haggler KOD Hearns. Marciano would do the same. A boxer's greatness is sometimes severely limited by his chin. Imagine Ali

    Hearns could punch we know that for a fact. But against marciano I don't see him really doing well at all. Tommy just didn't have the chin to take a marciano s crack. If Barkley, Hagler could ko him and Leonard and James kinchen could put him on the canvas then rock certainly is. Tommy either jab s well for a few rounds, until the inevitable ko somewhere in the 5 th or he comes out slugging, in which case it's a 2 round ko. Archie Moore is still as dangerous but I see Tommy having slightly more success. Maybe even hurt Moore in the first few rounds, but Moore catches Tommy some point in the middle round s for a Barkley type ko.

    Marciano wouldn't respect Hearn's power.....and would just walk right in like Hagler did and take Tommy Hearns out. A Moore vs Hearns fight would be more tactical.....may go the distance, or a late TKO by Moore, depending on Moore's attitude that night.

    I think Rocky makes it into the 3rd.

    Hearns would be KO'd in 1 or 2 rounds by either of them.

    Yeah, he gets tko'd on cuts then. But he's fighting under an assumed name so it wont show on his record!

    Hearns was not great at this weight. But, he had a big experience factor over Marciano. Something to think about. And was more skilled but probably Marciano on natural size.

    Tommy wouldn't last a round with Marciano at any weight.

    He didn't have the pop to keep Marciano off him, nor the chin to handle Marciano's power.

    And I wouldn't give Marciano much chance against a prime Foreman, Lewis or Vitali.

    how on earth is hearns going to cope when he struggled and cherrypicked at LHW for any kind of minor belt success?

    no need for this thread.
