Floyd could easily survive.
You're posting a video of Duran who has no defense. This is very deceiving and doesn't even come close to transmitting a valid result. Floyd would never approach Hearns like Duran did. He would approach Hearns more like Leonard did. Look at how Ray uses simple alteral movement in the early rounds against Hearns and how it nulls Tommy's attacks. Floyd defense is at least a letter grade higher that Leonards so yes, Floyd survives rather easily.
I can see a razor close fight with either guy edging a win over 12 rounds. Who knows, Tommy gasses late and Floyd could capitalize on that. I can see Floyd winning 7-5.
The thing people forget is how good Floyd's defense was and a long guy like Hearns is tailor made for someone like Floyd.
