Floyd Mayweather Jr. Vs Thomas Hearns

[scap]

Tommy was such an underrated boxer...his power just tended to hide how good of a boxer he really was.

Floyd would have never gotten close and when hit with the same couple of right hands that someone like Mosely landed...lights out.

As highly as I think of Mayweather's boxing prowess, Hearns would literally destroy him. Nobody in the welterweight division could even hang with any of Hearns' top opponents: Duran, Cuevas...

[sicko]

Mayweather would probably do better then most because of his defensive style if he was apart of that ERA but I still think Hearns right hand and size would be too much for even Mayweather

I'm in no way a Floyd fan but it says alot about how good he is that people have to dig out Hearns/SRL/Sweet Pea/Duran as fighters who could beat him. It's only when you bring these ATGs into the equation that people are confident enough to pick against Floyd - and they do it with such relish too. They've finally got one over Floyd/*****s

Actually I only made this thread because of the Pacquiao Vs Hearns one.
Just wanted to see how people think it would play out

There aren't many WW's in the history of boxing that I'd favor over Tommy Hearns. Anything can happen in a fight, but if I had to place a bet, I'd put my $ on the Hitman.

To answer the question seriously, I think Tommy might be the one fighter I would be quite confident would beat Floyd. Just simply too big, too much power, too much reach along with that great jab, and possessing just fantastic boxing skills.

Hearns also had a great corner.

in a 12 rounder i could see floyd eeking out a close decision but a 15 round fight hearns would have a good chance for a late round stoppage or ko. that being said i dont think floyd would fight him if he was around today, hell i dont think many of the welters of today would fight him.
