    How do you see it going at Welterweight?

    Hearns.

    Whitaker was better at lower weight classes, and the best WWs he beat were way smaller and less rangy than Hearns.

    Not to mention slower and less powerful.

    Tommy's straight right hand would be key.

    As a matter of fact, I'd hestitate to pick Whitaker over Hearns in a p4p sense.

    Bad style matchup for Whitaker. Hearns was rangy, powerful and fast.

    Hearns too big, too strong, and a bit to quick for Sweetpee taste .

    Hearns by UD.

    I love Pea, however Hearns would be too much for him especially at welterweight. Hearns UD 116 - 111 with a kd scored

    Hearns by wide decision 12-3 or 11-4 with both at their peak. He might even stop Sweet Pea but I doubt it.

    hearns...speed..reach...excellent boxer not some wild slinging bafoom that falls in with his punches pea would have to take MEGA risks just to score...Hearns might stop Pea...but I cant say that being as though Pea was never stopped.

    Pea wouldn't be able to land much as Hearns would keep pea at the end of his sharp jabs and right hands...

    We all saw what happened to the shorter duran against hearns and how hearns reach made it impossible for benitez to land anything significant ... hell even SRL almost lost a wide ud until he finally caught hearns !

    Pea gets a serious beating in this fight
