Was there any fighter in history with Duran`s reach and height that could have beaten Hearns?

No, all would've had a similar result, some earlier some later, but just the same.

 

Rocky Marciano perhaps?

 

154 or below ..

 

Maybe a young Rodrigo Valdez or Mickey Walker ?

 

I guess Armstrong might have the best shot.

 

Not sure he would beat Hearns but Carmen Basilio seems to meet the criteria although he had an additional inch of reach and was half an inch shorter

 

Mickey Walker is an outside possibility.....to contribute to the conversation.
height 5′ 7″
reach 67″

 

Walker would be the best bet.

 

is this at 154 or above. What was Qawi's height and reach?

 

What about Aaron Pryor? He beat Tommy in the amatuers before Hearns really developed his power and that was at 139 right? Pryor rushing in and trying to do what Hagler did. I just don't see it really since had Hearns countered and hit Pryor like he did Hagler I think he stopped Pryor. But Pryor crowded Hearns when they fought in the amatuer ranks and was on him close. You wonder if Hagler had access to that fight tape in 1985.. Although Hearns in 1985 was a lot better than Hearns in 1976
