    The vast difference in physical dimensions is bad enough, but then you have to deal with the fact that Hearns matches Mayweather for speed too. And even if Mayweather successfully closes the gap, does he have the firepower to hurt Hearns?

          I don't think so, Tommy's got all the cards in this fight, I don't think he'd stop Mayweather as he'd have difficulty landing flush like in the Benitez fight.

          Floyds could have some success if he sat down more on his punches and threw in combinations, not saying floyd would stop or hurt him but Tommy had very bad balance. But sitting down and punching isn't Floyds game anymore so I dunno if he'd take the risk.

          I'd give it 80-20 to the motor city cobra

            No fighter PAST or PRESENT just walks through him. Hes a tough fight for literally every one. Including Hearns. And thats from Tommys own mouth.

                Floyd could probably beat the "Motor City Cobra" right now. But prime for prime lol.

                  Lol! Very true. Imagine if PBF was in the FAB 4 era..... Who do of the 4 would scare him the most?

                      No. First off, Hearns had lightning speed, a rapid jab and a huge right hand. Floyd would be hit with the jab which would keep him at bay. And Floyd has no inside fight in the middle of the ring so even if he could somehow manage to get past the jab which he would not, he is not a consistent infighter and would be ineffective and he does not have the power to change things.

                      And there is no way a guy who was rocked by Corley and Mosley stands up after a right hand for FIFTEEN ROUNDS that has knocked fighters dead from 147 to 160. This is a 100% bad style matchup for Floyd which no approach would work. He does not have the power on the inside or the ability to fight consistently on the inside and if anyone thinks he would have a chance with Hearn's range on the outside, cancel your boxingscene account immediately, this site is not for you.
