Did Tommy Hearns posses as much power as a Prime Antonio Margarito?

[Roger Mellie]

This is a bit silly.Hearns was one of the most devastating punchers in history.

but you chose to post?

go watch some vintage (aka) Prime Margarito and get to me

I did watch some prime Margarito, it was about two weeks ago. That was an incredible display of power is you were talking about Mosley.

SSM nearly **** himself in the 2nd round from a hellacious liver shot

what fight were you watching?

[RL_GMA]

to be honest with you (putting all BS aside)

he's more towards the end of his prime (the very very end)

like he has one foot through the door

not taking anything away from SSM, cuz he beat his ass like if he owed him money

I mean, I know it takes more than 1 fight to see a fighter start to decline from Prime status.

He had the fight of his life against Cotto and a KO loss to Mosley, but is it the loss that makes you think that or also the wrapping situation?

Margarito did **** himself in the 9th and in the dressing room after he got caught playing with his plaster.

Tommy Hearns was absolutely vicious. His power exceeds Margarito's easy. If those two fought each other I have no doubt in my mind he knocks Margarito out. Aside from having more power, he also possesses the speed and technicality over Margarito.

And reach, don't forget reach. That's important because Hearns was one of those rare guys who could KO someone without having to land a short punch inside. He could extend and drop a guy too, which is huge when you have a 78" reach.

Margarito doesn't knock guys out he stops them(with a little help)

margarito's power is overrated as hell hearns was knocking fools out at every weight class

it really is no comparison

well, i thought he was on the decline even before cotto (good thing for him the cotto fight happened at the right time)

couple that with all the punishment he got from cotto AND THEN the ass beating he got from mosley?

i wouldn't be surprised if he never bounces back and starts getting his ass beat by sub-par fighters

[IMDAZED]

hearns would be in for a long night against the cotto that showed up on 07/26/2008

Hearns would flatten Cotto.

This question is as ridiculous as.. Did Pernell Whitaker posses as much defensive savvy as a prime Paulie malinaggi.
