Inspired to watch Leonard vs Hearns cos of this thread. The fight really changed after SRL decided to put himself on the front foot.
Even though Hearns was still winning rounds, you can see he burns way too much energy on the back foot.
Definitely some interesting fights for Hearns vs the great WW brawlers like Armstrong, Basilio, Gavilan or maybe even a prime version of Duran. Hearns on the front foot stalking behind his jab is nearly unbeatable. On the back foot he is extremely difficult, but you can force him to work way more than he wants to.

No one is unbeatable - but I think in today's 12 round, 24 hour weigh in, he would be pretty close to unbeatable at those weights. I would still give SRL a chance, and SRR a good shot to chin him over 12. Benitez obviously pushed him pretty close, without ever looking like he was going to win. I would say Floyd could be competitive by limiting Hearns lands similar to Benitez, but I think Hearns goes in as favourite against all of them at those weights.

His chin and survival instincts weren't great either.
Edit: against great fighters that is
