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

[Porter's Dad]

Hearns not only beats all of them put stops most of them.

I can't even pick one that has the best chance. Pretty much all of them have next to no chance IMO.

LOL exactly how I see it, man. Whenever I picture any of them with Hearns, I just see KO. And if they somehow survive, he just boxes them silly. I'm struggling to even think of a fight Tommy ever got outboxed.

Only fighter who doesnt get embarrased on that list is Floyd.

Are you kidding me? And how are there 10 votes for Floyd?

He'd have one of the hardest times on that list and I see no way he beats Hearns. He can't outbox Tommy and can't knock him out. Hearns wins every time.

Good post.

Saying Hearns' style is tailor made for Margarito is really puzzling. It's pretty much the exact opposite.

I can't see any other result than Hearns stopping Margarito.

Its quite simple really. Both guys are the same size love to mix it up, Hearns has no chin Margarito has an all time great chin

Delahoya, Trinidad, Mosley, Mayorga, Cotto, Margarito, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Forrest? I guess if you want throw in Vargas or Berto or Williams. Who do you think could do it? It might sound weird but I think Trinidad would be the only one with a shot in my opinion. What say you

None.

Even Trinidad would get sparked.

Because of his Power, Not many people realize how great a boxer hearns is.

I would choose Shane Mosley. to at least have a punchers chance because of his quickness. If he can sneak one overhand just like SRL did. it could be lights out for hearns.

Trinidad have power but i dont think he has a chance to connect given that he's a sucker for stiff jabs. Hearns would befuddle him with jabs before the right kayoes him.

Hearns is bigger than Margarito.

Hearns doesn't have 'no chin'.

Hearns would outbox Margarito to death. And at the times that they would exchange Hearns would win most the exchanges.

Margarito has a great chin but he has never been hit by anyone who hits like Tommy Hearns.

Floyd at welter is beyond his prime (most manny supporters don't understand this). If Floyd was fighting at 147 the way he fought at 140 i see him pulling it off. Floyd has a chin regardless of what ppl think. Hearn jab will be a problem, but Sugar ray got passed it and sugar isn't as technical as Floyd. I just feel FLoyd hasn't been given enough credit... the kid is very talented and makes everyone looks mediocre which is not his fault. Hearns was a Monster puncher, but never had any legs. With above said, if Floyd fought the way he fought at 140--with his IQ and his comfortability--he would give hearns problem ala sugar ray. Everyone else eats right hands too easy and we know Hearns blast cannons.

I would pick Trinidad out of all of them. But Hearns probably outboxes him too. If the left hook lands on Hearns' chin though, could be issues.

trinidad would be the only big threat to hearns.
