    I picked Sergio, mostly because he's got a good mix of size and speed, can lay halfway decent traps and might be lucky enough to catch Hearns walking into something if Tommy gets overeager in going for the kill. Even that is a big long shot though.

    Chavez Jr. might cause some problems solely due to size, but that's about it.

    Floyd either fights cautiously and gets massively outworked so Tommy wins a boring decision, or Floyd tries top open up and gets his head taken off.

    Pac gets his head taken off.

    Cotto can't deal with the speed, power height and reach advantages of Hearns and gets his head taken off.

    Canelo gets knocked silly.

    Martinez has a slight chance that's it! Actually come to think of it, Benitez did trouble Hearns and almost got the W so Mayweather might very well have a chance at outfoxing him

    Pacquiao stops him at 150 and 145.

    Floyd would whoop Hearns so bad that he'd wake up a year later in a coma. But this is a fantasy matchup so we ain't fight to see who the best is...plus it's a risky fight so health come first.

    Pac: Too small. Hearns squishes him early. We're talking about a flyweight who is finishing up as a welter, against a welter who finished as a cruiser.

    Floyd: Too small. If he runs he might last the distance. Hearns is much bigger, with infinitely more firepower, and is no slouch in the skills department himself.

    Martinez: My pick for having the best shot due to a combination of quickness, power, and reasonable size. Other guys on the list are bigger or quicker, but Sergio is the most well-rounded. Still, with how low Sergio keeps his hands he's most likely taking a nap against Hearns at some point.

    Chavez Junior: Doesn't have the skill to stay out of Hearns way, and doesn't have the power or ferocity to leap headfirst into the buzzsaw and make it throw a gear the way Hagler did. Junior gets destroyed in messy and painful fashion, his chin holding up just long enough to make the beating really theatrical.

    Golovkin: Whatever. Hearns smash.

    Cotto: My number two pick to have a shot. If Pac can savage him though, then Hearns is just going to pick him apart for a while before dropping the hammer on him.

    Lara: Hasn't show anything to make me think he has a shot. Hearns smash.

    Canelo: LOL!

    Tommy would savagely KO all of them..........none have proved in any fight of their careers that they could withstand the brutal offensive that a prime Hearns brought to the ring.......boxing misses a prime Tommy every era!
