Could Any Great Welter Of The Last Decade Beat Tommy Hearns?

[Flo_Raiden]

Hearns gives them all a boxing lesson and stops most of them. I can't see anyone in today's boxing who could have deal with Hearns. De la Hoya, IMO, has the best chance but barely.

I think it's crazy what Leonard did to Hearns. Seeing how no one would pick anyone to win against Hearns just shows how great SRL really is.

I see some people have said Mayweather has a shot with Hearns.

I really can't see that.

Floyd has no chance against Hearns at 147. He might last the distance but I can't see anyway he wins.

You think Ruben?

I can't see how Mosley beats Hearns.

I actually think Hearns has a good shot to stop Shane.

Dan I think Mosleys chances are very slim, I just think he would be able to do the most damage to Hearns, and I'd peg Floyd to be able to go the furthest by being very defensive in his approach. I think Shanes combination punching and athleticism may (not a good chance, but more than anyone else) to put some damage on Hearns, I definately think he has the best punchers chance, I'm not sure that Hearns would try to KO him outright being that Mosley is always a dangerous puncher he could just outpoint him in a wide decision.

Trinidad Margarito and Mayweather all KO Hearns

floyd imo would beat tommy---and forrest could also---that's pretty much it---oscar stands a chance also--

but the only one who would beat him is floyd--

I suppose he has a good punchers chance or atleast better than most. I'd personally say maybe Tito has the best punchers chance out the list.

Yeah that's true but I just think Hearns would have ALOT of success with the right hand and I don't think Shane would last the distance atleast without getting hurt and when he does get hurt he would be in trouble.

Hearns is taylor made for Margarito and Trinidad. Hearns chin would never hold up

[joelab75]

i voted trinidad. he was beast in 147 lbs. and pretty big in a welterweight. Dominated the welterweight division. was a pound for pound. Trinidad had the best chance. but it doesnt mean he was the only one who had a chance. in boxing ATG's can beat ATG's in any given night.

floyd would be the only fighter who would get inside of hearns's reach---and utilize it to work against hearns which happened to hearns against lesser fighters--you all have to understand the versatility of floyd's defense to offense--not only would he roll tommy's right hand but he'd counter it--meaning using his shoulder to roll it and land his right hand like he did with mosley and so many other fighters--

now tommy used his height well when he jabbed---that would have to be his money punch on floyd, seeing how that's the punch floyd has had the most trouble with in his career--but floyd would counter tommy at will off of the shoulder roll--not just using it and not punching back--

Tito is a harder puncher than Shane but I think it would be much harder for him to land on Hearns.
