Is Amir Khan a modern day Thomas Hearns?

[Barry Halls]

Hearns did beat "the best".

[boliodogs]

No.Hearns is an all time great and that is something Khan will never be. Hearns was KOed three times during his long, hall of fame career. He was KOed by Iran Barkley, a very heavy puncher and Hagler and Leonard two other all time greats. His chin was not iron but it was not that bad or he never would have won the many big fights over punchers that he did win. He certainly did not have a glass jaw like Khan.Hearns often won the big fights. He beat killer puncher, hall of famer Pipino Cuevas by KO in 2 rounds and he also KOed the great Duran in two rounds. He also beat hall of famer Benitez in his prime and Virgil Hill for the light heavyweight title. He deserved to win his rematch with Leonard but had to settle for a draw. He won world titles at 147, 154, 160 and 175. The idea of Hearns getting KOed by a fighter of Prescott's quality or a prime Hearns just barely beating an unranked fighter like Diaz is unthinkable. Hearns was 100 times better than Khan will ever be in my opinion.

[Interloper]

On punching power alone, Hearns at 160lbs. had the ability to knock out a heavyweight. 230+ pound heavyweight. And you're comparing that to Amir Khan, who isn't even the hardest puncher in his own weight division?

Jesus christ Almighty **** no

wow!!

[MikeRo1972]

You know, great speed, power and an offensive machine but lacks the chin to beat the best.

Don't ever....never ever put Khan's name in the same sentence as Tommy Hearns. Jesus Christ

[KnockUTheFukOut]

No ***ing Comparison....STOP IT!

Lol complete bullshet you cant compare biscuit chin to hearns. Khan thinks he has serious power but he aint that powerful his power is average at best. Sure he has atg speed and a decent jab but you cant compare him to thomas hearns you just cant

Going on like hearns has a glass chin, hearns was fighting ended up fighting at cruiserweight his frame wasn't that big else he would of been a cruiserweight his whole career he fought alot of bigger guys and smoked them dont come on here like biscuit chin is comparable to hearns
