Tommy Hearns would KILL Floyd Mayweather

Hearns will most definitely land flush on Floyd, he's got the speed, reach, timing ect to do so.

And it doesn't matter if he elected to trade with Floyd. He boxes him, he'll outbox him, if he trades with him, Floyd leaves the ring in a bodybag.

 

The greatest non heavyweight when its all said and done will be Floyd Joy Mayweather jr.

If you can figure out how to beat this guy w/o throwing out any names then please feel free.

 

Yes, actually he is. What on Earth could he do to beat Hearns? The same Floyd who ran from Baldomir and fought off the ropes and the backfoot from guys like old DLH and Hatton is going to pressure and cause Tommy Hearns to fight off the backfoot and hurt him with every punch the way Leonard did? You believe Floyd would take a beating just to land some big shots when that is the exact opposite of his style? That he would even be able to hurt Hearns if he did land shots? It took Leonard 14 rounds to stop Hearns, and you think Floyd(a natural 130 pounder and pot-shotting mover at higher weights) has that kind of power and style to do it?

No my friend, that is beyond absurdity.

 

How to beat him is put him in any other era. Or another option would be put him in against a live fighter.

 

In other words:

"If you can figure out how to beat this guy without giving any examples or argument of how to do so, please feel free to. I bet you can't!"

 

Okay brotha ... I can't dispute what you think ... just how will Hearns do this give the style of PBF?

Hearns at his fastest is not faster than PBF and Hearns at his best is not as good a defensive fighter as Floyd.

Hearns was very hittable throughout his career ...

What about his endurance? ... what about his inability to take body punches?

What about Floyd's underrated body punching?

Don't just say that Hearns is going to land ... he'll outbox Floyd ... he'll kill Floyd if Floyd elects to trade ...

You can't say that when you've never seen Floyd dominated, knocked down, knocked out, worn out, battered and bruised, and overwhelmed during a fight. :-(

 

are the brothas next door still boning you?

 

I'm not sure Beebs has seen that fight if he thinks "slickness" is what did it for Leonard.

 

We meet again "Sweet Pea" ...

are you ready for me today? ...

 

is your ass ****d up?

 

If at was he then.

Hearns's handspeed was just as fast as PBF's difference being he was far omore powerful, taller, much bigger reach, much bigger overall fighter, and much more offensively oriented. His height and reflexes made him very hard to hit. Watch a fight like his fight with Pipino Cuevas and see how good his defense and reflexes were, even in the middle of letting off a combo, every time Cuevas would throw back Hearns would easily slip it.

In that case, so is Floyd. You saw how often Castillo hit him?

Endurance? Never had those issues. His problems were durability against bigger fighters like Hagler and Barkley at higher weights. Body punches? Did you just take that directly out of your ass? Floyd jabs to the body, he's not a brutal body puncher or pressure fighter like Barkley(who also happened to be a huge MW). Floyd's body jabs would have little effect, especially given the fact that he has to get in on that huge reach and risk getting tagged with a straight right every time.

It's all true, so why not?

I've seen him knocked down(everyone but the ref has seen it), battered and bruised, and taken out of his game in a fight.

 

I won't be arguing all day on such a simple topic with such a simple person like yourself, no, I'm just here to put the obvious points in perspective to every objective, knowledgable person. Nutgobblers like yourself don't count.

 

Keyword: as fast

Castillo never hurt Floyd and never was able to land effectively ...

 

Talk about Pernell Whitaker and lets see who's the nuthugger ...

 

Aside from being black, talented, and skilled, Leonard and Mayweather have nothing in common. Leonard didn't outslick, outbox, and outmanuver Hearns. Nobody did; he was impossible to outbox from the outside. Leonard beat him by taking the fight to him, and we know that Mayweather lacks the pressuring ability, mentality, power, and the ability to put his punches together than Leonard had.

This fight isn't even close and I can't see Floyd winning a single round. What is he going to do? Potshot Hearns? That plan would fail - Hearns' length and jab negate it. Is he going to outjab Hearns? The size/reach disparity is too great for that to happen. Is he going to take the fight to him and be successful in doing so? No.

We can talk all day about Mayweather being unbeaten, but the bottom line is that he's never faced a fighter as good as Hearns, who has the style and ability to dominate him.
