    mayweather jnr..........UD 15
    whitaker...................UD 15
    de la hoya.................KO 9
    trinidad.....................KO 2
    pacquaio...................KO 6

    vs mayweather , mayweather gets knocked down maybe twice , hearns reach and jab win him the fight by 5-6 points

    vs whitaker , very hard fight for hearns because of how good whitaker is , hearns though can walk through whitaker shots , again far too big for sweet pea , hearns 4-5 points

    vs de la hoya , golden boy has power to hurt hearns but again the sheer size of hearns is the advantage here , de la hoya crumbles after 1 too many big right hands , hearns would be ahead 5-2-1 at the point of stoppage

    vs trinidad , just a bad style match-up for trinidad , he hasnt the chin to get past the big right hand , see hearns vs duran

    vs pacquaio , pacam would try to use his in and out speed to get to hearns but brutal jabs and body shots set up that big right hand that pacaman just wont be able to handle.

    at welterweight hearns is a monster , leonard was the only guy to beat him and that was when behind on points , he was outboxed by hearns but showed his greatness to find the punches

    not many in history beat hearns at 147 , well certainly in the last 30 years

    I agree with you. It was pure exhaustion that cost him the fight vs Leonard. He could have won that fight. Hearns at welter had it all.

    He would not KO Hoya. The opposite outcome is more likely. Hoya had a diamond chin in his prime.

    Pea would beat him too.

    Hearns is the worst fight in history for Pea.

    You think so? I reckon his feet and upperbody movement would serve him well here(ala leonard). The right hand is a problem, but not something Pea would be crippled by. I'd like to hear ya break it down, WAR...

    Have to be short sorry swarmy..but I don't see Pea bringing anything that's going to see him be Charlie sheen in there..See it going much like the Benitez fight with Tommy stalking and sending Pea into a total defensive mode which will see the rounds tick by against him.

    And basically Pea hasn't got the punch and is giving away to much physically to change the fight dramatically like Leonard did.

    I think he beats them all rather easily. Whitaker and Mayweather are going to have hell with that jab and simply lack the firepower to do much damage. Hearns was outboxing Leonard without much difficulty, he should have no problems with those two, who lacked Ray's explosiveness (and chin). The others have a decent chance to land the bomb first, Tito probably has the best chance here, but it's not likely for any of them. Guys like Pacquiao, Whitaker, and Mayweather are really just too small, too. I think Oscar fares the best, most likely makes it to the final bell if its 12 rounds, but he loses wide all the same.

    hearns had great height and reach but not a great chin. Hearns would edge all of them prob.

    I could see Hearns knocking out Oscar. DLH never fought anyone with both the power and skills of Hearns. He would have more to worry about than his chin. Imagine Hearns hitting him to the body the way he was Barkley and others?

    Trinidad would be the riskiest fight on there for him. Although i think he handles them all, Mayweahter and Whitaker especially

    I agree with you that Hearns beats them all i think KO6 is very generous to PacMan and i think he stops Floyd and Pea in the mid rounds.

    "mayweather jnr..........UD 15
    whitaker...................UD 15
    de la hoya.................KO 9
    trinidad.....................KO 2
    pacquaio...................KO 6"

    I think with Hearns size, skills and Power these results With the expiction of De La Hoya are fesable. I think Hearns should be the favroite against anyone at 147.
    Quick thoughts:
    Mayweather Jr. Hearns's size and power vs. Mayweather Jr's. skills and cleverness. I think the key is Hearns's size. Mayweather is good enough to win this fight, so he will win rounds. Hearns 9-6.

    Whitaker. In terms of tallant/skills/ability Whitaker is clearly better, but Hearns is no sluch either and he has the size advantage. The result would also mosy likely be a 9-6 win for Hearns.

    De La Hoya. Unlike Mayweather and Whitaker De La Hoya is not a short boxer. While he's not as tall as Hearns. Hearns still has the advantages in size but not that much. I like Hearns to take a close decision either 9-6 or 8-7. However with questions about Hearns's chin there is a posibility that De La Hoya wins by stoppage.

    Trinidad. Trinidad is a better puncher than De La Hoya. However he dose not have as good of a chin. I think this can be a Hagler/Hearns type fight with Hearns winning in around 5 rounds.

    Pacquiao. I think this is the fight where Hearns looks the best. Pacquiao is made for Hearns with his come forward style he will allow Hearns to most effectively use his reach and power advantages. I don't see this going past the fourth round.

    I cant see any other outcome then Hearns knocking them all out . I think Pacquiao gets the worse beatdown out of all them BTW . Hes 110% tailor made for the Hitman .

    Hearns can both knock out all of them or outbox all of them. He could well take all of them out within 2rounds, people are forgeting what a fast aggressive starter he could be and how he did the impossible against Duran and Cuevas.

    I think Tito and Pacquaio getting knocked out early is a given, both didn't pay anything like enough attention to defense and aren't defensively adept enough to get out the way of Hearns bombs and neither are landing first against the Hitman

    DLH hasn't been hit by anyone who bombs like Hearns, Hearns can KO him, and Quartey's jab gave him fits. He could possibly go the distance if he gets on the backfoot

    I think against the better defensive fighters Mayweather/Whitaker they probably go the distance and steal a few rounds but that's not a given both were caught and hurt big by lesser men.

    if I broke it down I see Hearns winning decision vs. Mayweather,Whitaker and Delahoya, and stopping Tito in 4 and Pacman in 2. Tito woudl be the biggest risk with his left hook. Tommy couldn't go crazy and try to stop Tito recklessly.
