tommy the hot man hearns question....

Lamotta didnt get hit as clean as people think, he rolled allot of punches people think landed, hes said so himself

 

I'm no one to judge if he was really hot or not, shommel. But I don't see what that has to do with the question anyway.

 

I think it's safe to say that if you can take all that Robinson has to give over 6 fights then you should be able to take Tommy's shots.

 

I dont' think it's out of the question. Hard to tell but you can tell his punches had the same concussive force. Sometimes I think Hearns was closer to SRR in some ways than SRL was, and his long lanky punching especially reminds me of Robinson.

 

short guys like jake always were meet with the same result against hearns with total destruction in the same manner as roberto and pipino,

 

...But Jake was a guy that struggled to make Middleweight, height not entering into it. His actual natural frame was not that of a former lightweight champion and former welterweight champion. Not at all relevant, imo.

 

the conditioning of the fighters from back then and today are like night and day,jake was 5 foot nothing had srawny biceps and you expect him to compete against a guy like hearns who is over six foot and has a right hand that destroyed roberto and pipino:think

 

Compete? I'd actually favor him slightly, frankly. :good

 

Hagler walked through what I'd call very hard, clean shots from Hearns...

There's no evidence to suggest LaMotta wouldn't do the same.

 

He was the same height as Hagler. And what does the size of biceps have to do with fighting ability? Or for the thread's argument, ability to take a punch?

Go back to reviewing film... You need ALOT more of it.

 

when hearns fought short guys like roberto and pipino the right hand was very successful as when it was thrown it landed in a downward trajectory which made the shot even more powerful as roberto and pipino found out as both were laid out cold with it and jake is roughly the same size as these guys and he would of hit the deck face first as roberto and pipino did in very similar fashion:think

 

...Same size, were they? So, do you consider James Toney and Mike Tyson the same size at HW, pretty much? After all, both about the same height...same weight class...
