    Hearns would have beaten Floyd easily IMO, and that isn’t Floyd hate speaking. He defeated better fighters than Floyd. Prime Duran, Leonard and maybe even Benitez beat him too.

      He outboxed Sugar Ray until the 14th now a guy who can do that to Ray can outbox Floyd over 12 easy, but you know Floyd boy and logic don't go together.

        I always think Hearns would beat Floyd at WW because he is too big and too good for that size advantage same for Leonard or Hagler all too big and too good for the size, Manny would be beat to death by all three for the same reason he is too small at WW , Floyds footspeed and defensive boxing could easily end in a UD for either guy more so for Tommy than Ray because of the Hearns footspeed, I doubt it would go that way but I would not be surprised, Floyds prime is not WW why do you haters ALWAYS skip over Floyds prime as if he was always prime but every other fighter has this small window that was prime, tell me was Hearns prime at CW, Roy Jones was his at HW, was Mannys WW, Canelos at 175, name a fighter who rose many divisions and their prime was at the highest division they went to, you can get the biggest accomplishments in higher weights but its not prime.

        Hearns defeated better opponents by two famous names, the rest were just the same ol resume that they all have made up of contenders, a lot of greatness depends on who is there at the same time, you will often see fans romancing the stone because the hype narrative either good or bad is just a story, you either like the story or dont.

          .
          So since when an undefeated 28 year old fighter not in his prime.

          That's how old Floyd was when he hit welterweight

            Styles make fights Ray is not as defensive-minded as Floyd nor as small, Floyd would use nothing but angles and would not stand in front for a second, totally different styles if you break down their styles, but you gotta know some sht so that leaves you out so carry on with your fantasy.

            You gonna start that thread missy I got some time it wont take long to run you off, come lets debate Floyd Mayweather JR, me and you lol you are so spineless lol.

              When he was a much better fighter at his best weight which was not 147, prime is not stuck on an age.

              When was Mannys prime at what weight, can answer that about your favourite guy lol or we duck a question again.

                  Maidana too.

                  Hearns power was like 3 harder than those guys.

                  They rocked him so bad, he wasn't knocked down and proceeded to dominate both?

                    Charley Burley? What a strange inclusion.

                    What's your basis for Charley Burley beating Hearns?

                      And Mosley KOed Margarito with the same shot Floyd was hit with and Floyd walked him down, Mosley could punch, Floyd has a great chin which is because 99% of the time he takes the power of it with how loose he is, Manny Steward called him the rubber man, these haters don't understand boxing enough to give Floyd the credit he deserves in his own era, its the loser's mentality shown by haters, it was luck, he cheated, his shoes were different, he did this and did that he was just lucky 50 times against the best of his era, finished up the best resume of his era, I wish I had a 10th of his luck in my life, but Im sure Im not prepared to work at it as he did, people like Floyd are very rare people like moron haters are everywhere.
