    But Floyd definitely has a better chance than Forrest. Remember, V.Forrest got taken out by a Mayorga right hand, and lost in a rematch too. I can only imagine what hearns would do to him
    Styles makes fights. Mayorga don't fight like hearns.

      I don’t see how stamina was Oscar’s Kryptonite.

        The point i was making is Forrest would not be able to weather even a single right hand from Hearns. And Hearns would definitely land at some point, he had the reach/skills necessary

        You need a hell of a chin to stand a chance, and that's why i reckon a prime Shane Mosley has the best shot.

          No one on that list is beating Hearns by decision, that's obvious, so we're gonna have to pick out the punchers, Oscar, Tito, Shane. Mosley wouldn't be able to deal with Hearns range, Hearns wouldn't allow Tito to get set. Oscar can atleast punch on the move, has the athleticism to get close, land the left hook and he's a great finisher, he's also very durable. I'm not saying Oscar would win but he has the best chance.

            Ah I missed Mosley I think he'd have the best chance.

              Mayorga is very unorthodox, doesn't have a rhythm, unpredictable. That's why the best approach against Mayorga is to go at him. So I wouldn't make that comparison.

                Prime Mosley was pretty good at getting past a jab - as we saw in his first fight with DLH. The guy you see now is well past prime

                And if we're talking about puncher's with the best chance of KOing Hearns, DLH would NOT come forward and go for the KO. Expect him to do what he did in the last 3 rounds against Trinidad for all 12 rounds. When has Mosley not gone for it?

                    Ricky Hatton would get on the inside and make it his fight imo. Other than him De la Hoya would win because he has more tools, is more technical and was never ko'd.

                      Please tell me this is a joke

                      1) Hatton was never a welterweight. He looked terrible at 147lb's. That was BS to get a fight with Floyd, and he later got KO'd by Pac at 140. Hearns' kills him
                      2) DLH does not have more tools
                      3) DLH was KO'd, twice

                      Yep, definitely a De la hoya fan ...
