    I heard Roger say, if Hearns couldn't beat SRL at 147 then how the hell is he going to beat Floyd?

      No. Hearns was huge at 147 and beautiful boxer. Great jab, superb timing, combinations that flowed like water, and a sledgehammer right hand. It's no insult to Floyd to say he couldn't win this one.

            Except that Tommy did beat SRL over 12 rounds and could you imagine Floyd beating Hagler?

              Horrible match up for Floyd, he probably gets stopped.

                No , Hearns was a superb attack minded Welterweight and a naturally bigger man than Mayweather. Yes he lost to Leonard late in a 15 round fight but he gave Leonard a boxing clinic at times in that fight at was ahead on the card after 12. ATG Leonard just got to him in the end. What is Mayweather going to do to win rounds?

                  I am really not sure what May would do to win rounds? I don't think he could potshot for 12 rounds to win a decision.
