Tommy Hearns, one of the Fab Four, the guy that destroyed the Great Roberto Duran.
But how does he get on against the best fighter of this generation, Manny Pacquiao.
The fights to gauge both of these fighters in this fantasy match up are Pacquiao vs Cotto and Hearns vs Leonard I
Pacquiao was at his best in this fight, and Hearns was in his prime as a welter and weighed in at 145lbs for the bout.
It would be a great fight both having the power to take each other out. But Pacquiao would have the advantages in speed and footwork. Tommy also kept his right low and was open to the left hook. Hearns's jab would not have been as effective against the southpaw. And when Hearns was hurt he was hurt for a long time and Pacquiao is a great finisher.
I think for the first few rounds Pacquiao uses his speed and footwork and just tries to land his punches against Hearns staying away from a dog fight. But as Hearns tires, and that right hand drops, Pacquiao begins to land the left with more gusto and hurts Tommy. Then Pacquiao will bring it and Hearns will not last much longer after than that.
