    I've always said that Hearns would have absolutely no trouble with Mayweather for this simple fact. Can't see how people disagree so much with this Manchine...? It's quite truly an easy win for Hearns. Too fast, too hard, too quick (yes, there is a difference between fast and quick), and too damn big!

    I should vote for Hearns 'cause he would have the easiest time of it, but I think Duran would beat him well, although in a very hard fight, and them being in the same division makes it more for Duran IMO.

      Floyd loses to all.
      What makes you think either get caught with that shot in the first place?

      Duran always fought with his right hand up near his cheek (even when throwing), ala Hopkins (for recent reference), and was nearly impossible to hit flush anyway at his peak.

      Hagler was also very hard to hit with the left hook and was really only very susceptible to the right lead (which, while a May weapon, would struggle due to Hagler's height, power, strength, skill and defense in prime), straight right hand which started in the Duran/Hagler fight and ended with Mugabi fight especially, before Leonard.
