        I don't see anyone, including Floyd and Pac at WW that would give Hearns any problems at WW.

        The only WW in the past 15 years that could possibly give Hearns an issue at WW. It's maybe Tito and that's because of his power. Where if he touches Hearns first he might get him. But, that's about it and it's a stretch. Because, more than likely Hearns out boxes Tito to route or takes his head off early.

          Awful style matchup for Mayweather AND Pacquiao, too good for everyone else. I think he'd destroy most everyone in and around welterweight, jmw, middleweight, hell, maybe even super middleweight. Motherfucker could fight.

          Floyd would just be completely unable to time that long, awkward jab. You made him stop firing that by going to war. Floyd would not do that. He'd be on the end of the jab all night. If Hearns dropped in a few choice right hands, he could end the fight, but that's not a sure thing. Floyd's hard to hit with the right. Clear decision win for Hearns.

          Pacquiao would be a. confused by Hearns' boxing and length and b. impaled by his missile right hand. That one doesn't see the cards, Hearns by mid-late round knockout.

            But this is all conjecture, since apparently, Manny wins in a streetlight with present-day Mike Tyson via KO.... so who knows.
            yeah cotto the one with the weakest chins out of the top welterweights will give hearns the most trouble.

            ****** cotto stans.

              Hearns would walk through this WW division. Floyd would give him the toughest fight, but even then, it's a poor style match up for Floyd IMO.

              Pacquiao would get decapitated in all honesty.

                I think it's way more likely that Hearns boxes circles around Tito and stops him late a la Hopkins than Tito lands a big left hook and cold ****s him. It's not like Hearns was easy to stop, he just didn't have a particularly great chin.

                  I agree,

                  More than likely, like I said, that would be the case.

                  And, that Tito catching him early would be a stretch. But, he would put the only WW in the last 15 years at WW who would have the power to be able to do something to Hearns if he would be able to catch him first.

                  No other WW in the last 15 years had what it took to outbox, out slug, out hustle, or the power to cause Hearns any issues.
