not really. hearns could box. he outboxed SRL. youre writing him off too easily. This isnt maidana or canelo. He doesnt just have size and power. Hes got speed, reach and one of the best jabs of all time.
No Hearns got OUTBOXED by SRL! I dont think Hearns is leagues above Canelo or Marcos. Hearns is a throwback fighter, so people automatically say he's a legend. Any Big name fighter from a past era, is automatically a legend! But with Floyd, Marcos, Canelo, Pac, even Berto are all the same!
Mere opponents! It doesnt matter how good you are, how fast, awkward, how many punches you throw etc, Floyd has shown that EVERYONE he faces will all look the same! He makes EVERYONE gun shy! Everyone plods around the ring, scared to get countered, I mean if Floyd fought in Hearns era, they would be SHOCKED by how sharp he is!
In fact, it wouldnt be no damn Hearns or SRL! Those fighters are from the past! Floyd is the future in comparison! And I dont even see Hearns as a fast handed guy either!
Floyd changes up his speed from fight to fight! He switches gears to meet the standard of his opponents! The Floyd who faced Marcos, is slower, and has worse footspeed, than Pac.
Yet when Floyd faced Pac, Floyd was fast af, and his footspeed made Pac look slow as hell! Pac looked like a midget brawler, getting turned all night!
Everyone Floyd faced was 15 lbs heavier :pat: wonder what Marquez and Pacquio have to say about that ..
And so what if Maidana outweighed him he was a slow plodder easy pickings for boxers that's why he was schooled by Alexander having weight doesn't equate to skill ..And Hearns best weight was at WW he still managed to capture a title at 175 ! Floyd has never faced a tall fighter the caliber of Hearns Corrales is no Hearns !,Floyd would be out gunned and out boxed with ease here ! But I don't why this is even discussed as Floyd would have never fought him !
If they did Hearns by KO!
Dude JMM and Pac are TWO fights Bro! Lol Not only that, but Pac was 150lbs while Floyd was 148! And this was one of the RARE occasions that Floyd was the bigger men!
When Floyd faced Marcos, Floyd assumed that Marcos was going to stand still, and take punishment, like a bummy, brawler, like Jake Lomatta!
Once Marcos came forward relentlessly, thats when reality kicked in. You have a prime 165lb fighter, beating down a 148lbs 37yr old grandpa!
I will be the first to say that Floyd LOST the first fight! But fights like those, make me realize how special it is that Floyd has been dominating these bigazz young guys and dont really have power. He isnt a big puncher, battering big men like Pac. He's a small old man, winning solely on skills!
Floyd thought Berto would stand still and take a whipping as well. Virgil did decent imo, because it turned into a situation where a bigger younger man, is chasing and GOING at a little old dude. Floyd clinched like crazy, huffing, puffing, tired! I mean the fight was awful Tbh!
But my point is, even Berto, a bum, is tough for a little old dude with no power! And Devon is closer to Marcos size, bigger than Floyd, and has a little more power!
As far as Hearns, and his "Caliber" NEGRO WHO DF IS HEARNS? LOL This dude lost to fighters WAAAY lesser than Floyd Lol. Hearns is from an outdated era dude! Floyd wouldnt look at him like he's some sort of threat! Lol. Floyd would tare his azz up! The 37yr old Mayweather who walked down Canelo, would humiliate Hearns! Hagler is the only one who can beat Floyd. It has to be a big giant, guy, who is relentlessly strong!
I think Hearns is classes below Floyd and too slow, and unintelligent! And he lost to SRL! Floyd would do both men dirty! He does EVERYONE dirty!
So maidana haf a bigger stomach??
Styles, body styles, skill sets . Way different
Every style is the same for Floyd. This dude faced 49 fighters all completely different, and makes them all look flatfooted and slow. I used to think he would lose to Pac, because Pac is so sharp and awkward. Floyd made him look flatfooted and clumsey as well. Pac looked like a small slow handed brawler up in their!
And Marcos was 165lbs while Floyd was 148lbs! But Floyd ALWAYS has the deck stacked up against him, with little power, and still wins solely on skills! SRL and Hearns RARELY had those disadvantages! They just faced big name legends who albeit are legends, didnt necessarily stack decks against them!
Everyone Floyd faces is half his age and 15lbs heavier. Even Marcos was 17lbs heavier! Read my comments on page 3 and 4! This fight is a whitewashing by Floyd! Hearns lost to lesser fighters, and even tho he faced Legends, he has never had the deck stacked against him like Floyd.
Floyd has ALWAYS been the smaller, and older man on many nights! And in a later age, was dominating giants. The circumstances of his victories, makes his resume much tougher than Hearns and SRL, no matter what legends they faced! They'd never go into a fight being a nonpuncher, and 15lbs lighter, and dominate without being touched!

Hearns by decision. His speed, reach, jab and skills would be too much. Floyd has problems with a good jab. Hearns outboxed SRL pretty easily. SRL had to come forward with pressure to get that stoppage while behind on the cards, floyds way too small and out gunned here to do that.
Dont see a stoppage though. Some guys dont get stopped, floyd is one of them. Hopkins is another.

- Its hard to say what would happen, but the more I think about it, the more I think Hearns would of destroyed him. Just to big and long and Hearns hands were extremely fast, his hands were faster than PBF, and Hearns punched in combination, 4-5-6 punch combos. He beat Benitez, and Benitez was nick named El Radar for a reason, he was slick and defensive. Floyd is just to small, not taking anything away from Floyd, he is still an ATG, but this fight wouldnt even be fair in my eyes.
Tommy was a stupendous boxer with great power. His weaknesses (chin, legs) would not be opportunities for Floyd, with his brittle fists and distaste for mixing it up. Floyd dances to UD's against smallish opponents who lack slick speed and skills.
We see another of these threads every couple weeks. Enough already.

Hearns is too big, too black and too good for Mayweather.
We know Floyd doesn't like fighting those kind of people.
Lmao.
So true.
He dont fight prime fighters either.
Money May got dis sheeeeeit. Too slik, too well skoold for Tommy 'Da Hurtman' Hurns. Tommy be like tryin to take Floyd's hed off wit erry' shot and y'all know Floyd be seein dat sheeeeeeeit comin from a myle away. Once Floyd take da jab away he wood walk his skinny azz down, work da body an stop him late.
Slippity, bippity, boppity, boo, easy werk 4 TBE.
okay... what about benitez, duran, cuevas and Hill?? do you have any excuse for them too??
Duran was past his prime and Benitez was hardly Hearns' best performance. Like I said in my first post Hearns is all wrong for Floyd style wise. But I'm not sure who would win so I didn't vote. I just posted my opinion.
Hearns is the type of guy that Floyd avoids

Leonard fresh off of a coke scandal that got him fired from HBO. Not the same as the first fight.

LOL... hearns never win big fight?! Hearn K.O duran and majority experts says he win the 2nd leonard fight.

Yeah because beating Pipino Cuevas, Roberto Duran, Wilfred Benitez, Virgil Hill and getting shafted by the judges in the second Leonard fight weren't big fights . .
Did you actually watch the Benitez fight? That was hardly a great performance. And Duran was already past his prime.
