mayweather vs Thomas Hearns at 147 both in their prime

[Loque-san]

The fantasy fight of all fantasy fights.

Like Floyd would fight Hearns in his prime.

[Gary Coleman]

Hearns was 23 years old at welter. Inexperience could have been his undoing, but he's the 1 fighter I believe that could have defeated Floyd for sure. Especially at 154.

[Gary Coleman]

Hearns by KO. No way in hell Floyd could beat Tommy at 147. Not big enough, not strong enough, doesn’t hit hard enough.

Leonard beating Hearns in 81 might be the greatest win in boxing history.

Is there nothing to be said for ring IQ, hand/foot speed and defense? Floyd also has the better chin.

Prime versions at that weight, Tommy was 23, Floyd would have been 32. That's a well seasoned Floyd vs a green Hearns. Just sayin...

[The Big Dunn]

Aka don't put my crush in with a guy who is bonafide top 10 atg at ww. Although Hearns/Floyd is in the same division. Hearns has a height/reach advantage and Floyd is too small that's not fair

Floyd was undefeated and what 28 or 29 when he hit ww? That sounds like prime to me.

Big Dunn 67,000+ excuses

Where did I post anything like that? I guess since English is your 3rd language after Tagalog and manny pole smoking, you misread it.

I picked Hearns by KO. You have nothing to whine about.

Floyd’s prime was exactly at the weight I posted.
Floyd was close to or over 30, and 36-0 when he fought ww for the first time against Zab. Following that, Baldomir, Berto and Canelo were the WWs he fought that began his career at ww. All others started below ww if I am correct.

Hearns began his career at WW. He was a great ww. To pick him over anyone that had 12 fights at 147, after he was 30, after beginning his career at 130 isnt really a stretch.

Since you need to take the rest of the day to floss Manny’s pubic hair out of your teeth, this will be my only response to you.

Not better than Duran beating Ray before that. But a damn good win.

So a man who lost twice to journeyman Iran Barkley, automatically beats Mayweather? Laughable. Mayweather would toy with Barkley no matter what he weighed, as with journeyman, like Barkley was, weight doesn't matter. But that's not held against Hearns because he comes from an overrated era where everybody is a God. Mayweather by very wide decision or late KO. Nash out

I picked Hearns by KO. .

You picked Hearns by ko with the reservation that you say Floyd’s prime is at 130135, when he was clearly still in his prime at 147 vs. Judah Baldymir, Hatton, etc. He hadn't hit 30 yet.

Hearns by KO because Floyd in his prime wasnt a WW,

Basically your saying Floyd is too small, a common Floyd excuse, but I'd be willing to bet Floyd spent as much time at welterweight as Hearns did, but since most wouldn't give Floyd any type of chance against Hearns, you gotta slip in that too small excuse some kind of way.

Your logic is skewed.

How does Iran Barkley a mw Hearns fought arguably past his prime, factor into it. Barkley and Floyd fight nothing alike. Hearns only loss at 147 was to Srl who he easily outboxed most of the rounds. Plus Hearns had trouble when guys brawled not boxed.

We know Floyd isn't risking what he would have to risk if Hearns is outboxing him from a safe distance and if Hearns could outbox Srl, he could outbox anybody.

EVEN The mayweather version that beat canelo would wipe the floor with hearns. RIng IQ IS JUST TOO MUCH. HE WOULD POT SHOT HIM TO A UD. LEONARD HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF BEATING MAYWEATHER.

Dude you lying he was 28 yrs old 35-0 in his ww debut vs Sharmba Mitchell. He was clearly still in his prime. If you gonna cape for Floyd, at least get the facts straight.
