Why do people think Thomas Hearns would beat Floyd so easily?

[BlackSoul]

these floyd fans are ******ed
Thomas Hearns had a 6 INCH REACH ADVANTAGE
had a 5 INCH HEIGHT ADVANTAGE
was the NATURALLY BIGGER FIGHTER
Hearns NEVER got "outboxed" by "BOXERS"
his jab would be his most effective weapon and can remain out of range and his right hand was top 3 RIGHT HANDS of ALL-TIME IF NOT THE BEST AT WELTERWEIGHT

mayweather had a 5 INCH REACH DISADVANTAGE
6 INCH REACH DISADVANTAGE
could NOT "HURT" Hearns
he's NOT gonna "outbox" hearns from behind a 6 INCH REACH DISADVANTAGE and attempt to counter over a jab or jab to the stomach his inside game isnt THAT good and even then he STILL had to take FIRE and a possible KO to get on the inside.
mayweather is a more economical version and a less powerful and less aggressive and who doesnt have the power in his left hand like a Sugar Ray Leonard to cause basically ANY problems to Hearns WHATSOEVER
im a fan of mayweather in THIS generation but hearns STYLE is ALL WRONG for mayweather.

[bojangles1987]

Because he has size, skill, and power that would be a nightmare for Mayweather. Hearns is incredibly difficult to outbox, and Mayweather at welterweight does not have the same seek and destroy ability that he did at lower weights, which is a bad thing since Hearns basically would force him into that role. Hearns may not destroy him in 2 rounds, but he would be a horrific match up for Floyd.

Are you daring to argue with that formula?

Next thing I know you're going start saying Ali would beat Jack Johnson.

Mize we're bro's but if you start saying sh.it like that about my Muhammad Ali then i'm gonna have to **** you up

You don't know what your talking about fella....to disarm a jab you have to be in range to counter it and then you have to Impose ur style onto his...floyd does not have the power or the size to do that....and you saw Oscar who was 10% of thomas Hearns....you also saw maidana out jab floyd in some rounds in there 2nd fight......floyd was 130lb natural fighter who would come up against one of the most dangerous fighters in history....hearns would literally ruin floyd within 4 rounds.....floyd 72' inch reach...thomas hearns 78' inch reach ...any man that thinks tiny floyd maywether beats thomas (hit man) hearns needs to seek some medical help

Where's my meds Dr. Plunger? Lol.

Floyds better than Duran.

Noooo Masssssss!

Defence, effective aggression and ring generalship ALL for Floyd.

NSB Logic: Tommy Hearns boxed in the 80's, Tommy Hearn is stronger and taller therefore he wins by default. Let's forget about the judges criteria. Let's forget about the aforementioned Boxer (Floyd) being the most accurate boxer YOU have ever seen. Let's forget about all the chicken leg dances from Hearn. Nostalgia levels on 1000 and it disgusts me.

By you're italic filled argument, Tyson Fury beats any boxer that's ever exisited in the Galaxy!

how could mayweather be "effectively aggressive"? break that down for me in THIS fight.
mayweather fought alot of the same TYPE of fighters thus makin' his "defense" look that way when you fight certain types of fighters then your defense will look astounding.
and the worst of all you said "ring generalship"..........................
i aint even gonna answer that
ppl just throw out terms just bc they seen it before and dont question HOW ring generalship will play a factor into the fight of a STYLE that is WRONG for mayweather on ALL levels.

[SplitSecond]

The fight is on YouTube; same way most folks here have been able to see most of the other historical fights. Again, I'd advise you to watch the fight on YouTube.

Are you having a stroke? Lets try to keep the relevancy. How did you see the fight? Benitez beat Hearns is that it? you know what, I don't care, carry on.

Ring generalship = the ability of the opponent to dictate the pace. I'm talking about Floyd Mayweather so that's self-explanatory, if you can't put two and two together you need help.

"I'm going to go out there and be the best Floyd Mayweather I can be"- Mayweather. He is quite possibly the best ever ring general to exist.

Hit and not get hit = effective aggression. Do you understand you can be effectively aggressive whilst fighting off the back foot.

Listen what you're saying isn't gospel, it's your opinion. You keep using generic terms such as 'his style is all wrong". You used the height and reach hypothesis and I've debunked it by applying Tyson to your theory. Mayweather beats Hearns according to an official Judges criteria.

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

If you tell me Floyd isn't one of the best ring generals EVER you don't deserve your opinion to be taken seriously.
