is there any way Floyd could have beaten Hearns?

[The Gambler1981]

Yes he can, Floyd is better inside and thus has a place where he can work he also has great defense and is good at controlling range so him being able to stay out of Hearns wheel house is a real possibility.

It is a very tough fight and I understand saying Floyd wouldn't win but all you guys are doing is being wowed by the physicality of Hearns, he can be out thought heck that is why he lost most of his big fights and Floyd is a great thinker in the ring so if he can put Hearns at a disadvantage I don't think Hearns can overcome that.

Hearns didn't run through Benitez, if Floyd is able to do a better job than Benitez Floyd can win that fight.


I personally think Leonard is a tougher fight than Hearns because Leonard has more options at his disposal that could match Floyd. Hearns is still a very difficult fight but it is winnable.

I don't think so and I don't think he would have beaten prime Oscar or prime Mosley either. I also think prime Paul Williams and Margarito give him fits as well. Just my opinion.

nah hearns was too physically gifted. only way hearns would lose is if he didnt fight his size, which wasnt his nature. I could see mayweather rocking hearns a few times, but ultimately a one sided win for hearns.

[New England]

Hearns is a fighter that i would favor to beat anybody at WW ever

what about my dog ray leonard?

[Calm down mate]

Mayweather is the king of fantasy fights so no, no one from any era past or present has a chance against him.

Floyd is far from the unbeatable GOAT his g@y fanboys would have you believe but he would at least be competitive with any fighter in history between 135-147. Apart from 'the motor city cobra'. An ATG jab, the reach advantage, and ATG power is just a combination floyd would not be able to overcome. You could put jr, sr, roger and jeff in the ring at the same time and my money would still be on 'the hitman'.
