    What comtemporary fighter/fighters could beat Hearns or have a reasonalbe chance

    At Welterweight and 154.


    Mayweather-no chance

    De La Hoya- I doubt it

    Winky Wright-no

    Mosely probably has the best chance because he's and fighter and can throw fast and relatively powerfull combinations that could possibly land and hurt Hearns but still his chances would not be very good.

    No one around now has a shot against a prime Thomas Hearns.

        Nobody. Maybe De La Hoya at 147...but that's a slim ****ing chance.

        Hearns at 154 was damn near unbeatable in my opinion.

          sugar ray leaonard was the only guy who could have beaten him at 147.. ever.... i give de la hoya a shot too, but hes the only one around now who could hold up

          im completely biased though, there is no fighter i like even half as much as the hitman, his style was just wonderful to behold

          if the first leaonard fight had only been 12 rounds people would be talking about how hearns was the p4p GOAT... ( he woulda gotten the decision he deserved the 2nd time if he had won the 1st fight)

            If it were 12 rounds then Gay Ray would have stepped up the pace earlier.

            Not saying that Gay Ray necessarily would have won, but the fight would've been a little different.

              i wont argue with that, i was just trying to point out how much those 2 extra rounds affected the legacy of two of the greatest fighters of all time... and how easily things could have gone the other way
