Now I picked Hearns myself, but there is still a considerable amount of nutbaggery flowing through this thread!
First of all is these whoppers like Khan wouldn't make it out of round 1! Now it's of course possible that that could happen, but it's OBVIOUSLY not LIKELY to happen.
Pull up Thomas Hearns record and ACTUALLY CHECK how many opponents Hearns really DID knock out in the first round..
Not a great many!
Now Khan is a top boxer in the year 2015 and even just a quick look at a picture of him shows he is fitter than any boxer of Hearn's era and a quick look at him train and fight shows he is also faster than any and better skilled than most of them too.
So are you claiming that Khan is WORSE than all of Hearns opponents too that he failed to KO in 1 round??
Not a likely story is it!!
And a quick look at these opponents reveals quickly that MOST of the guys Hearns to failed to KO in 1 round, and some of them he failed to KO even at all, were much ****ter than Khan!!
The OTHER bungle here with analysis, is how you take a young boxer like Khan and compare him to a whole career fighter like Hearns who fought through to an age much older than current Khan. It is OBVIOUS that the older the fighter, the more fights and more experience and it is also OBVIOUS that boxers get heftier the older they get!
It doesn't make sense to compare current Khan at his weight range to any version of Hearn's that was much older, in a different stage of his career that Khan hasn't even reached yet and in far heftier weight classes too which Khan hasn't beefed up to yet either!
You should only really compare upto LMW Hearns at the most and disregard anything he did later.
I would also like to finish by pointing out that Hearns couldn't handle a really good fighter at MW like Hagler.
And he never really beat anybody that significant from Welter to MW either besides Duran and Benitez who were not especially better than Khan.
1 round ko's happen. Sometimes a guy hurries through in search of the 1st round ko. Most of the time it's a fighter just turning one over before his opponent got tuned in and warmed up. And then there are the obvious mismatches in skill that end in 1. This fight is a fight where both cats got skill, but Khan just can't compare to Tommy 'The Hit Man/Motor City Cobra' Hearns.
But if Khan made it in to the 4th, I wouldn't be be surprised at all. He would have probably been down 2-3 times before seeing the 4th round but I could see him making it that far.
I don't see why you get so much **** from people on here. You make good points except for one thing. You'll have things to spread your feathers and strut around about in the very near future, cause we dominated for a good century, but tides are changing. Still, never count the US out..... We got the knowledge, you have the pool of willing participants.
I would also like to finish by pointing out that, as you had stated, Hearns could not handle Hagler. For my post point out point out I would like to remind you that Khan is nothing close to the monster that Hagler could become once that bell rang.

Hearns lost to some of the greatest fighters of his era, and gave SRL a war. Khan lost to Prescott and Garcia, 'nuff said.

There is'nt a welterweight today that beats Tommy outside of possibly Mayweather and I seriously doubt he could.
