who is saying hearns' chin is iron? if you look at it from a match up point of view its just terrible for tito. great jab, great movement, devastating right hand. how is tito getting past the jab? ray had his ways to get to hearns , even with all of his physical talents and skill he was still at a huge disadvantage when fighting hearns because of that right hand you HAD to respect. it took him 14 rounds to find his spot to stop tommy. ray would beat trinidad even worse than hearns imo, 10-10 times at welter weight. but like i say, trinidad has the power to make a difference but he has to work so hard to get into a position to use his money punch when hearns can throw his right hand at will. both ray and hearns murder de la hoya as well

Trinidad is my favorite fighter of all time. Hearns is one of my favorites too. I think Hearns might win this one but there is no damn way that Trinidad would be Koed in 2 or 3 rounds. That's such bull. Trinidad has so much heart and has never been truly hurt in the early going. Still, Trinidad has a chance to win if he connects his left hook, because Hearns' chin was not good.Comment

I think Hearns would KO Trinidad in similar fashion to the way he took out Pipino Cuevas. Although Tito is a better fighter that Cuevas, I imagine that The Hitman would catch Trinidad within the first 3 rounds. Hearn's right hand was like a laser guided missile at welterweight.Comment

I BELIEVE THAT HEARNS WOULD BE FAVORED IN THIS FIGHT. BOTH FIGHTERS WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE A CHANCE IF THEY LANDED THIER PRIME SHOT. THE INTRESTING THING ABOUT THESE TWO FIGHTERS IS THAT I BELIEVE TRINIDAD WOULD HAVE FAIRED BETTER AGAINST THE FIGHTERS THAT GAVE HEARNS TROUBLE (eg..leanord, barkley) BUT HEARNS WOULD DO BETTER AGAINST THE VARGAS'S AND DELAHOYA'S. IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A TOSS UP IN VEGAS, BUT I'VE GIVE THE MOTOR CITY COBRA A SLIGHT ADVANTAGE. GOOD FANTASY MATCHUP!!!!Comment

Continuation......the Main Reason Is That I Think Trinidad Would Be An Easier Target For Hearns To Hit. The Longer You Stayed In The Hitman's Range, The Less Likely It Was That You'd See Victory.Comment

I don't think Hearns can KO Trinidad, I think the fight will get stopped by the ref after Trinidad gets knocked down bad and manages to get up to a Hearns barrage on the ropes..
Tito's got too much heart to be KO'd in the ring..Comment
