i would love to see mayweather take tommy hearns right hand away, then pick him apart in the pocket and frustrate tommy, tommy would get locked up, and catch straight rights all night, he would get frusterated because he couldnt get off against mayweather, then hed start catching kangaroo left hooks, hearns couldnt handle mayweather
mosley took his best shot with a sweeping right hook, dazed mayweather, didnt see the punch the rest of the night,
Tommy Hearns is known for his signature punch, thats what made him the man
Mayweather is known for taking peoples signature punch away from them
mosley right hook, oscar left jab, short hatton body punches, marquez jabs and straights,
there is a reason that his opponents work rate drops to about half when they fight him
Mayweather would throw straight right hands down the pipe, force hearns to purse him with jabs, lock him up and work him in the pocket, then hed probably sucker hearns into throwing big right hands and punish him for them
tommy hearns punch output would be about half of what it normally is by round 6
if mayweather and hearns fought 20 years ago, you guys wouldnt even remember hearns because thats how biased you are all
nostalgia doesnt not make great fighters god,
sugar robinson leonard ali,
duran hagler hearns were all good fighters, just because you have memories of their bouts doesnt make them invincible, they are all men
you could not sit here and say that hearns would destroy mayweather ina hypothetical fight because you really have no idea the circumstances of how it would take place, you just like to think of fighters of his era as golden gods
I would pick Hearns by decision. But believe it or not, I think Floyd has the better chance to win by KO. Hearns had much better power, but Floyd has the better chin, defense, and legs to go the distance.
