Floyd Mayweather vs Thomas Hearns at 147lb

[them_apples]

Hearns by decision.

I think Mayweather could withstand Hearns' punches, without getting knocked out. Hearns out-boxes him, though.

if he got hit, he'd never stand them. Not a chance in hell. Hearns even wobbled Marvin Hagler.

I may have over stated my point and wouldn't argue with this. The simple fact is though, defense is not going to win this fight. No way does pot shotting take away from all Hearns effective aggression in this fight. If you couldn't out brawl Hearns, you couldn't beat him. NO ONE ever outboxed Hearns and there is no way Floyd would do throwing as little as he does at 147.

What burgundy is saying is rubbish. Corrales isn't on Hearns level, he's not even as big either.

Corrales had a 70 reach and couldn't box, Hearns only real flaw was getting ****y and fighting with his hands down (he was sorta chinny too). He had a 78 reach and could box like no other, had a cutting jab. Corrales had some pop at 135, but Hearns power at 147 is p4p in the top 5.

Mayweather is not a big WW and it shows when he stood beside Mosley. Mayweather weighed in at 146 and he's not even known for putting on weight after a weigh in. I think he could have easily made weight in the Marquez fight, it was simply a ploy to dishearten Marquez.

thats cause its the weight he fought majority of his career.

thats cause its the weight he fought majority of his career.
at their career weights,they have similar power.if your asking if ray hits harder than floyd at 147 i say yes.but its not by some huge gap.

i dont think ray leonard would come close to stopping balderthol,and its unlikely he could stop oscar

You are so ignorant. Ray hit's way harder than Floyd. Ray stopped guys cold in some fights at 147. Ray's power is comparable to ODLH if you want a reference.

Don't compare Floyd to Benitez, Floyd is technically much more sound on defense than Benitez. That said Floyd would need a miracle to beat Hearns, I can't see how he is going to counter Hearns's reach advantage and I don't think he has the power to really hurt Hearns.

They are both great defensively, i give PBF the slight edge in the middle of the ring defensively. Benitez was a Radar and can slip and duck with the best of them.

Exhibit A: Check the last dozen seconds of round 2 with Hearns. He made Hearns Miss 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 punches consecutively, embed the YT link and see that display if I am lying.

hearns didnt wobble no marvin hagler lol.he landed 1 good right hand and it pisssed marvin off.i think hearns broke his hand on marvins head.he walked strait through hearns

what are you not understanding lol?ray doesnt hit way harder.ive seen floyd knock a bobby giepert into the air.literally.like they said on sky sports "i think shane is discovering what oscar discovered.floyd hits alot harder than he thought"

and you keep saying nobody ever outboxed tommy.ray k.od him,floyd and ray are 2 different breed of technician.only guy who fights like floyd is toney,and toney wouldve homicided hearns at 160 with his style.hearns has suspect conditioning.i think he gets broken down to the body,possibly stopped late.

as far as corrales,at 130 his k.o ratio was in the 90's.you mean to tell me thats not tommy hearns like lol.i didnt say chico had the skill of tommy,i said he has comparable power at 130.you can make an argument for him being the biggest puncher in that division in history.

Corrales, probably in the top 10 p4p of the last decade. Probably. Hearns, top three all time. It's no comparison. Hearns carried his power through middleweight...did you see him rock Marvin Hagler? Because I did. I also saw Corrales fail to dent Clottey even once when they fought. And Clottey is real, real tough, but he's not even close to Marvin Hagler. Marvin Hagler was like the Thing, true story.
