Bernard Hopkins: I would have knocked out Tommy Hearns

[Castor_Troy]

beating or knocking out Hearns actually has no difference since we know Hearns chin is not at the upper level type. The right cross that practically kayoed Trinidad would have the same effect on Hearns.


but can BHOP land something like that? I dont thing so. Hearns is long with that stiff razor sharp job with great movement and a killer right hand.


Hearns needs to box though and cant fight the same way he did againts Hagler.

Of course B-Hop would KO Hearns

I'm nnot even white but i think Hopkins lost a lot of credibility when he said he would never lose to a whiteboy and then lost to calzaghe

[SirTomJones]

What gives Hopkins the belief he could beat an elite fighter like Hearns?

Who worth a damn has hopkins ever K.O'd? The ODLH fight looked like a dive job.

Hearns would K.O hopkins

I would back Bhop to beat Hearns at 160, but that's because his best weight by far was 147, and Bhop was a very good 160 pound fighter. I can count on one hand who i think "might" beat Hearns at 147, and none of the current crop spring to mind.

Are you dense? Height has nothing to do with natural weight. What are you an mma fan not to know that? Stick with MMA brainiac. The term midget in boxing has to do with weight not height.

Are you DUMB?! I responded to idiots like you calling hearns a MIDGET.

It says " MIDGET ". Which refers to someones HEIGHT not WEIGHT.

HoPKINS AND HEARNS ARE THE SAME HEIGHT.

GROW A GOT DAMN BRAIN.

MIDGET INST EVEN A TERM IN BOXING THAT HAS TO DO WITH WEIGHT. WOW, JUST WOW. MIDGET IS JUST THAT, HEIGHT. NO ONE HAS EVER REFERRED TO A 'LIGHTER' FIGHTER AS A MIDGET.

WAS CHICO A MIDGET WHEN HE FOUGHT CLOTTEY? I SURE AS HELL DIDNT SEE ANYONE SAY SO. JUST STOP MAN, YOURE REACHING NOW. YOU WERE WRONG, DEAL WITH IT.

Hearns was a damn good boxer. A lot of people remember him purely for his power but he can outbox fighters as well as he could score a knockout. Though his best times were at 147/154 lbs so i think Hopkins has a bit of an advantage there.

I would back Bhop to beat Hearns at 160, but that's because his best weight by far was 147, and Bhop was a very good 160 pound fighter. I can count on one hand who i think "might" beat Hearns at 147, and none of the current crop spring to mind.

If a fighter has great chin and above average power odds are he would KO Hearns

Here is an idea, how about the OP giving credit to the writer of that story instead of just posting it uncredited? That looks like the work of Lem Satterfield and he deserves to be credited if his work is re-posted, not too much to ask, even in the internet age, where what's mine is yours the moment I post it...

Grow up..........
