    Hearns was too great and confident to lose to guy like Floyd. Even if Floyd had confidence and would sign to fight Hearns, he would lose. Hearns was too fast and had too big a right hand. Hearns could win either by knockout or by decision. Hearns decisioned both Benitez and Hill.

    I sense a Floyd no-show for this one. Maybe a last minute concern about drug testing, glove weight, venue, ring size or choice of ring girl, in fact anything that stops him from getting KTFO and losing his '0'

    A fight where a case really cannot be made for one of the fighters.

    Floyd is getting stopped too. Brutally.

    Hearns by UD, as Floyd fights to survive.

    I wouldnt consider myself a Floyd fan,but i do think many underrate him and i think its just cause they dont like him. That being said I still cant see him winning this fight Tommy is all wrong for Floyd in fact if any fighter from the Past that i can be sure of beating floyd it would be Hearns. Mayweather cant outbox Hearns and He cant outslug him. Only way Mayweather last the distance if he fights just to survive and not to win. If not Tommy knocks him out.

    PBF feints during his ring walk, and the ref counts him out while Ellerbe breathes a sigh of relief.
