Hearns although having a questionable chin is a boxing nightmare for damn near every current fighter, from 147-175. Duran is also far from a worse version of Pacqauio.... Fact!!! Duran would scare the life out of every fighter from 135-160.. Probably would KO damn near every current fighter from 135-147... Including Pac. Hagler at 160 is possibly the only boxer I would give damn near every current and past ATG middleweights to have a chance... Hagler was a different bread. You need to watch more if your thinking the way you are...
    Just stop dude, Elroy is a flaming troll lol.

      Hearns could get KOd, I think it would come mid-late. Hearns does pose a big threat with his own power but at 160 his chin would get cracked against GGG in due time.

        I would pick Hearns over GGG but don't think Hearns chin could withstand GGG's power if he got caught. Hagler and SRL would beat him easily IMO.

          I agree with this post. Hearns/GGG not obvious which is the favorite but I don't have any reason yet to believe that Hagler or SRL wouldn't dominate GGG. I mean there is still time for GGG to change my mind but as of right now I don't see GGG beating them.

          Duran/GGG would be asking a LOT from Duran. GGG has fought almost 400 times without being knocked down, I don't know if Duran could hurt him as much as he did Iran Barkley. So without any disrespect to the much more accomplished Duran, I'd favor GGG in that matchup. It would be a tough ass fight though.

            I think that GGG would probably beat Duran by tko in the later rounds after a frustrating first three rounds with Duran slipping some off GGG's jabs and going to the body. Eventually I think GGG starts to get his jab going in round 4 and probably hurting him around round rd 7 and eventually getting the stoppage in the next couple of rounds after Duran starts to get back in the fight. I think the size advantage coupled with his skills & sheer power is too much too overcome for a very game Duran.

            Next Hearns & GGG I feel would play out very similar to Hagler/Hearns in terms of only going three rounds and being fast paced. I believe that Hearns comes right out the corner full speed & power and basically whoops the hell out of GGG the first round without seriously hurting to say while GGG puts up a tight guard throwing the occasional left hook counter. In the corner Abel yells at GGG to jab with Hearns and throw with him making sure he's alway active even in his footwork. Steward tells Hearns to use his speed this round and not gett overcarried because he thinks GGG is going to be looking to end it with one punch. Half through round 2 I see Hearns and GGG start to exchange heavy shots until Hearns gets clipped with one and backs off boxing off the backfoot for the rest of the round. Round 3 Steward tells Hearns too not give up too much ground because it will only encourage GGG. Abel tells GGG that he needs to bait Hearns into a fight and hurt him good enough. Hearns controls the center early on with his speed until GGG times him with a right hand that shakes Hearns up a little. He stalks him and Hearms starts to throw everything everything at GGG and they begin to exchange again hurting eachother ns until Hearns gets caught with a hook ala Khan/Garcia and the ref waves it off after Hearns is shown to not his legs under him.

            Now from what I've sen so far I have to favor Hagler over GGG in what would be a fight for the ages. I see it being a middleweight version of Pacquiao/Marquez II with one of them being hurt bad and knocked down once towards the end of a round. I see Hagler winning the decision by 2 rounds with a few rematches down the road until one of them gets the knockout.
