Pedroza fight could end in DQ though as he was dirty as hell. Good thread

[NAB]

Jr Welter: Alexis Arguello vs Kostya Tszyu

Tszyu too strong at 140.

i would take winky over Hearns, simply because winky has great discpline, at no time would he engage in a slug fest with Hearns. I might be a boring fight but Winky by UD.

But when was Hearns ever outboxed?

Winky wouldn't rip into him like Leonard, Hagler, and Barkley did.

Hearns was an excellent boxer as well.

I agree with you on that one. Hearns could beat him any way he chose to.

I agree that Hearns could have boxed with Wright and have given him problems but i don`t see Ronald Wright being OUTBOXED over 12 rounds.
Its too close to call but Wright Vs hearns would be a great fight.

I dunno...Hearns arguably outboxed/matched Leonard and if he did that he could easily do it to Winky. I think he'd get to Winky before 12 anyway.
