Nope, floyd would lose. Hearns too big and strong
Do you think Floyd could have beat Tommy Hearns at 147?

I would pick Hearns to win by KO. Hearns is famous for his power but he was also a great boxer. At the end of 12 rounds in his welterweight fight with Leonard he was well ahead of Leonard on points. Hearns had the fastest hands, the best left jab and the best straight right of all the great welterweights. Leonard came from behind to KO Hearns but I don't think Mayweather has the power to do what Leonard did to Hearns or the chin to take Hearn's power. Hearns would use his jab to keep Mayweather off balance and land his long, lightning fast and devastating straight right to put Mayweather away. Hearns is the only guy to KO a near prime Duran and he did it with the straight right. Hearns may have been weight drained for his first fight with Leonard and he never fought at welterweight again. Leonard wanted no part of Hearns in a rematch and put that off about 10 years. Prime 147 pound Hearns KOs the prime 147 pound Mayweather in my opinion.Comment

Hearns is the one fighter in history I'd favor over Floyd. Mayweather started out at 130. It would be a huge mismatch.Comment
