      Hey man, nobody is saying that Tommy was a joke. I'm probably the biggest Fab4 fan on this site, but B-Hop is a bigger version of any of the Fab4.

          I seriously doubt this fight would end in the early rounds. Hopkins didn't take chances agaisnt punchers, and Hearns is more of a threat than anyone Hopkins faced including Trinidad.

          Hopkins did say that if he were to fight someone like Ray Robinson with speed, power and ability, he would try to use his strength to wear him down in the clinches.

          He would likely step up the pace in the later rounds, much like he did against Trinidad, and it would be up to Hearns' durability and conditioning to survive the later rounds. Hearns did learn from the first Leonard fight enough to know how to clinch, which won him a couple of fights later on in his career.

            My post was more of an acknowledgment of how great Tommy really was than a dis against you.

                  IMO tommy wouldent be able to land the jab or the right, i think Bhop has better Defence, and he's naturally larger and hits harder then benitez, plus he has the skills to adjust, if benitez almost won, it was close, then i think Bhop could do it, and i DID mention a PRIME Bhop (read title)
                  what hate? where am i hating? all i did was disagree.

                  u should mention hearns fought the benitez fight with one hand. and it wasnt his best performance. lets say this. if segundo mercado who was also a tall and powerful fighter put hopkins down twice and got a draw, what would hearns do?

                  u cant compare like that. hearns didnt fight at his best that night, and thats even if u dont mention the fact that he broke his hand early in the fight.

                    I think Hearns performed very well against Benitez actually. Hearns was not knocked down and the scorecards were a little too close in my opinion (much like the previous Duran-Benitez bout), Hearns controlled the fight from the beginning in my view, against a very, very good fighter I might add.

                    A Hearns who sticks to his gameplan and conserves energy like he did in that fight would be trouble for anybody at 147-160.
