  • Thomas Hearns would beat any welterweight in history in a 12 round fight

    greatest overall offensive fighter of all time, and pretty much impossible to outbox as well.

    only time he would lose is if he got unlucky and got caught on the chin...he wasnt the most durable guy, after all.(his only weakness, along with stamina)

    only one you could say would beat him is Ray Robinson.

      Twelve round fight, when Leonard was behind and needing a knockout, which came in the 14th.

          You change the situation up and make that a 12 round fight everything changes.

          Tactics change

          I believe SRL still beats him in twelve.

            Haven't seen enough of SRR to say he could beat Hearns. He'd even beat Leonard in a 15 rounder had they rematched. Hearns made the mistake of tradin'; should have just boxed his way to a victory.

              Very difficult fighter for anyone at 147 to beat, he could **** and he could box extremely well. Quick hands, Powerful right, very solid jolting jab, and he knew how to use his leverage, height and reach to it's limit. The guy's heart was huge too, his only liability was his chin and defense. He got lazy with his defense sometimes.

                while Im at it, I think that Hearns could most likely beat any 154lber in the history of boxing as well, even in a 15 round fight.

                the only one that could challenge him is McCallum...whos body work and overall expertise would pose a big threat to Hearns in the late rounds of the fight.

                  I dont. Leonard only won about 2 or 3 rounds, and apart from Hearns getting rocked once, the guy was in control.

                  and that was even a Hearns that weighed in at 145lbs. that probably didnt help his stamina much, its obvious the guy had trouble making weight
