the same way hearns blocked haglers blows?man hearns had a glass jaw.but he was a great boxer but tito,dlh and cotto would have had a beter job of putting hearns away compared 2 that hyped job williams.
Come on now. Hagler & Tito? Hagler was a beast on his own, let alone the fight being at MW. Thats nothing compared to fighting Tito at WW. Im a huge Tito fan and I think he gets underrated on these boards all the time but Hearns is like the worst matchup possible for him, maybe except for SRL. You just said that Hearns was a master boxer and thats my point. Did you see what Oscar, Hopkins, and Winky did to Tito? 3 master boxers. Now what would happened if he fights an even better boxer than them and has mad power? Hearns would put his ass to sleep, easily. Shit, even Vargas was winning when it was a pure boxing match.
Cotto? Come on man. Hearns destroys him. Oscar maybe but I dont see it. Williams is like the risk guy. I could see him getting killed but I could also see him doing way better than anyone else so thats why I went with him. Again, dont sleep on the Southpaw thing. Its by far the biggest advantage in boxing. Dont be shocked to see Williams kill Pavlik, Shane, and so on but lose to a guy like Quintana just because of the Southpaw thing. I also didnt say Williams was a master boxer, I was talking aobut Hearns
Who would you chose? Id Chose:
Hearns vs. Trinidad
Leonard vs. Mayweather Jr.
Hagler vs. Hopkins
Duran vs. Mosley (135)
- Hagler vs James Toney (chin vs chin, will vs will, skill vs skill)
- Agree with Duran Mosley at 135....though you could have Floyd there aswell at 135. Or even Kostya Tszyu v Duran at 140.
- SRL vs PBF
- Pac vs Hearns---------> to see Hearns massacre him.....
With Hearns, we dont exactly have alot of choices and Williams can do things to him that others cant. If you guys think a stiff as Tito is going to bother Hearns just because he has some power then you are crazy. Its not just about power. You have to be able to land those shots and there is no way that a master boxer like Hearns is going to let Tito land that shit. He would be moving, jabbing, and come over the top with the rights. He would light Tito's ass up. Williams has a much better chance. Again, dont act like Williams is the same against righties as he is against lefties.

Hearns that kayoed Duran vs. Winky Wright that UD's Mosley
Leonard that beats Duran vs. Mayweather Jr. that UD's Baldomir
Hagler that kayoes Hearns vs. Hopkins that kayoes Tito
Duran vs. Pacquiao (135)
hearns vs williams???? who's the crazy 1?man williams aint in the same leauge as hearns was.hearns would kill him with that right hand all night and most probaly ko him.williams doesnt youse his reach where hearns did.

I'd take Hearns over Trinidad by KO (even at 147....)
The other matchups would be extremely close. I'd take Leonard to UD floyd, stepping up the pace when needed. I'd probably take Hagler by close decision v Hopkins, but Mosley Duran is too hard to call. I love Duran but Mosley was also a beast at 135.
I see a couple of Hagler-Mosley fights and you guys are crazy for that.
Hagler-Hopkins- A prime Hopkins would more than hold his own against Hagler
Hearns-Williams- Williams struggles with Southpaws but looks great against righties and has the size to compete with Hearns
Leonard-Forrest- Forrest is in the mold of a poor man's Hearns & could possibly give him some trouble in his prime
Duran-Mayweather at 130- Classic matchup as Floyd looked unbeatable at the weight and Duran was also a beast

Hearns v Williams at whateverweight
Hagler v King Arthur (MW)
Duran v Pac (140)
Leonard v Mayweather
I pick the fab 4 in every fight
Haha, nice choices. :biggthump
I agree with your conclusion also.
Really nice choices. My 2 cents:
I think Hearns most likely KO's Trinidad, but Tito could turn the tables and finish him if he catches Tommy w/a good combination. In either case, this one ain't goin' the distance.
SRL boxes to a close but clear UD. Faster, stronger, better. Not by much, but by enough of each that there is very little doubt as to the outcome.
The Marvelous one scores a knockdown or two en route to a clear UD. No way can B-Hop hurt Hagler anywhere near enough to discourage him and Hagler will get to him enough to get the solid win even though B-Hop might win half the rounds.
Duran by close UD. Mosely will have his moments by boxing (and could even win this way) but, because he's Mosely and has big juevos and will be pissed off about all the horrible things Duran will say about his woman, will get sucked into a brawl which he'll lose. Neither man goes down.
I agree, good post.

Great matchups. It like a fight of similar style. IMO, Prime for Prime and Pound for pound...
Hearns vs. Trinidad -- Toss up. Hmmm. That really depends on who hits first.
Leonard vs. Mayweather Jr. -- Leonard SD or late TKO. I'm really not sure if Pbf can take a good hit in the chin. If Mosley hits him in their fight this May and he could take it, I lean on Pbf SD or close UD.
Hagler vs. Hopkins -- Hopkins SD or very close UD
Duran vs. Mosley (135) -- Duran UD
