mayweather vs Thomas Hearns at 147 both in their prime

[hugh grant]

Hearns would be too big how would he be too big if they both weigh in at the 147 lb limit. Oh because he is taller and has a longer reach well that is the welterweight division the fighters came in all shapes, sizes and lengths but we know Floyd only cherrypicked the short, short armed, flat footed fighters.

Maybe if Floyd wouldn't have avoided fighters who had height and reach on him like Margarito and Paul Williams, more people would give him a shot against a Hearns.

Yeh maybe Pac has better chance against prime Hearns than Floyd did. Pac beat Margarito didnt he who had height and reach and weight on Pac. Plus Pac would fight Hearns, history currently shows Floyd wouldnt have!

It isnt. Him and hugh grant are Manny nutsack gobblers that are still hurt Floyd beat Manny.

This loser called for Floyd to fight Shane. He picked Shane to win. Floyd fought him the next fight. When Shane lost, he claimed Shane was shot and that he didnt say they should fight next. Poster irondanhamza found the the thread he made. Proving what kind of liar and fraud this clown is.

The other ball gobbler, grant, made a post about who Floyd needed to beat to be an ATG. List had Hatton, Cotto, Shane and Manny and some others. He predicted Floyd would lose to all of these men.

When Floyd beat Manny he deleted the post and lied that he never created it, only poster Jedi Vader had quoted the post and pulled it up when he lied that he didnt delete it.

Don’t waste your time dealing with them. They have absolutely zero integrity, honesty or knowledge of the sport.

They use these threads to vent because Floyd, who they hate, is better than and defeated a dude they **********d to for most of their lives.

Deep down theyre also upset Manny kept avoiding the fight. They want to argue had they fought earlier Manny may have won. But Manny refusing the fight refutes that.

They are the last remnants of the very worst pac fans this board had.

Somebody please get this guy some Kleenex.

Big Dunn pot calling the kettle black mofo. The 67,000+ post, Floyd defender and excuse maker. Biggest hypocrite on this site.

"Floyd was close to or over 30, and 36-0 when he fought ww for the first time against Zab"

You didn't even know your crush's first welterweight fight was against a faded Sharmba Mitchell. He was 28 years old. Still in his prime.

Its a reason why the majority doesn't give Mayweather a shot against fighters like Hearns and Sugar Ray. Its because he avoided certain fighters at welterweight that would have given the best assessment.

These Mayweather vs. Hearns/Sugar threads are created every week and the result is the same. The Floyd boys want to excuse Floyd because he is too small, or his hands is hurting, or he is on vacation, but the truth is, they just don't want to admit that he just isn't as good as those guys and didn't want to prove that he is by beating the best guys in his era in their prime and nobody is mad that he beat a faded Manny. Anybody who disagrees is a hater, or doesn't know anything about boxing. Same garbage all the time.

If Floyd would have just beat the best guys in their prime, you wouldn't be so butthurt that nobody is jumping on the Floyd beats Hearns/Sugar Ray in a fantasy fight campaign.

Hearns wasn’t green at all at 23. That’s nonsense tbh man.

Hearns is far too gifted physically for Mayweather. Floyd can’t walk him down like Ray did. He’d get knocked out early if he tried to.

Against a 32 year old Mayweather, 23 is green. I don't care who you are.

Utter nonsense. Hearns at 23 had been in with Leonard, Cuevas, Espada, Shields, Weston etc. He was a seasoned fighter by 23.

Hearns at 22/23 knocks any version of Mayweather out, it’s a physical mismatch!

Floyd vs Ray is competitive. I’d pick SRL by decision but that’s a close fight and you could almost guarantee that decision would be controversial.

No chance he beats Tommy though. Doesn’t have the size, strength or power, I’d confidently pick Hearns by KO.

[4truth]

Hearns weighed in at 145 the day of the fight when he fought SRL and imo, it probably cost him the fight as he weakened badly late. If Hearns were going to fight Floyd, with a day before the fight weigh in, he'd be in the ring in the mid 150s.

I don't think it's even competitive.

Good point. Hearn being able to re-hydrate like modern fighters would be a scary proposition.

Nice to see mostly logical posts in this thread.

I hate these type of fantasy fights in social media, because at least half the posts are comments like, "Hearns? Oh the guy with 5 losses, TBE would stop him in 8 rounds! Floyd would never lose to some Iranian guy named Barkley who had 15 losses himself!!!!"

For the record, I got Hearns by UD. Floyd was great enough to not get stopped or ko'd, but just can't see overcoming Hearns who was physical beast at 147 with the skills on top of that.

With the same day weigh in not in effect. This fight could have happened at 140, maybe even 135.

In 1981 Hearns' walk around weight was 175 and he was ripped.

Nobody is saying Floyd wouldn't be competitive vs Sugar/Hearns but to beat that caliber fighter you need more than just defense and ring iq.

I don't buy the Floyd is too small excuse that Big Dunn and Roadblock are trying to push. Those guys were just downright better and above that, victorious under different types of situations being ouboxed/knocked down. Sugar Ray was being soundly outboxed by Hearns, dug deep and stopped him. Knocked down by Kevin Howard and Donny Lalonde, got up and stomped mudholes in those guys. Lalonde was a much bigger guy.

Floyd who knows man he just wanted easy fights never wanted to test himself and it's because we don't know what Floyd would do if faced with adversity. That's why I wouldn't pick him over either guy. Benitez either. Terry Norris or Tito either.
