Was hearns' power over rated ?

[hectari]

I think Tommy Hearns had unbelievable power for his weight class and would love to see what he could do to today's current crop...

If Hearns fought today at 147 and 154 he would be considered p4p number 1, and his ppv buys would be consistently 1 million, he would have one of the highest KO ratio, he would be considered top 5 p4p, his exciting style and fearless mentality is something you cant teach.

Hearns would wreck Floyd, Pac, Thurman, Canelo, you name it.

hearns had good power as long as you were scared of him and stood still while in his range and then he bombed you out. but if you attacked him pushed him back he was easy to KO and he did get ko'd numerous times. sugar ray leonard took everything he had for 15 rounds and never got hurt. I liked hearns the man came to fight

Thomas Hearns was trash beaten by SRL and Marvin Hagler like a paper weight. His chin was glass like Khans.

[bojangles1987]

He punched hard for a 147,154 pound man but if you compare him to other 6 foot 2 men I'd say he's a weakling

He punched hard his entire career, which ended up at cruiserweight.

He was stopped 3 times. By Sugar Ray Leonard, arguably one of the 10 best fighters ever, Marvin Hagler, one of the 5 best middleweights ever, and Iran Barkley.

He was pretty ****ing far from "easy to KO."

yes I could not believe he was ko'd by Iran "into a right "barkley who duran ko'd. you built up haggler and leonard but not barkley hmm

KO/stoppage wins from 147 - 200lb's. Of course he had pop.

[nivek535]

his power is comparable to ali raymi.

When did Duran KO Barkley?

And I didn't build up Barkley because he wasn't a Hagler or Leonard. But he's still only a 3rd fighter out of a 60+ fighter career that ended at cruiserweight to stop Thomas Hearns.

So no, Hearns was not easy to knock out. Not even a little bit. Hearns having a glass chin is one of the biggest myths in boxing history.

Ask Duran.
