    147-160.

    I personally don't think anyone can beat Hearns in today's 147-160 era.

    But I think both Floyd and Martinez will make it competitive.

    Chavez Jr isn't his father or Marvin Hagler, but his style COULD give Hearns problems. But Hearns is a lot better than Lee.

    I would think Chavez jr have a MUCH MUCH better chance of beating Prime Hearns then Chavez Senior

    Then again, Hearns has faster foot speed than Lee, so he wouldn't get trapped on the ropes as easy.

    Martinez or Golovkin. Both get bombed out, but they've shown one-punch KO power which is a must if any of these guys were matched up against Hearns.

    None of these guys would beat him, period.

    Chavez is clearly the best fighter on the list but 147 was never a good weight for him, 130-140 was Chavez best years.

    Let's get something straight, neither Chavez Jr or Sr have a ****ing prayer of beating Hearns. Ever. Under any circumstances.

    I'd take Hearns to beat everyone on the list.

    Hearns was hit or miss above 154.

    Agreed.

    He's a H2H beast at WW and at JMW. At 160 he was very vulnerable and doesn't belong with the greats of that division IMO.

    Hopkins would stop him. Tommy Hearns vs a Green RJJ at 160 would of been intresting.

    Bearing in mind the trouble that Martinez had with a drunk Kelly Pavlik, what stylistic advantages do you see for him?

    You should have a "None of the Above" option, i would have voted that without a second thought.

    Every single one of the guys mentioned would get starched the **** out.
