    Did he win the fight? We can't use the what if logic...I agree with you BTW Hearns would win a decision because he was too big for Floyd, He went up to Light heavyweight started as a natural welterweight and Floyd started as a Super featherweight and went upto Welterweight.

    But it would be far from an "Ownage" as you said earlier, Floyd's defensive style and boxing skills would make it close.

      Are you trying to be funny? Here is a guy who is actually argueing that Duran was'nt past it when he fought Hearns. Please stop embarrasing yourself.

        He was well past his best when he fought Hearns and if you argue with that your officially a ******.
        Duran was younger, closer to his prime, and waaaaaaay more active than DLH was when Floyd fought him, how's that?

          so if he couldnt beat tommy hearns who isnt in the top 10 p4p of all time...

          how is floyd p4p the best of all time....

          and even more so... how is beating cotto.... defining anyones record?

          if cotto retired RIGHT NOW he wouldnt make the hall of fame...

          hes got 2 victories over BIG names, one of which is zab judah, who carlos baldomir beat.. end of discussion.. and the other is a past prime 36 yr old mosley.... hardly the pick of litter here...

          please please tell me how cotto defines someones career....

          its more the other way around... floyd would define cottos career if cotto were to beat him... which he wouldnt

            Past his prime means what exactly?

            Did you ask yourself when was the last time Oscar De La Hoya had a significant win when Floyd boxed him? Or were you too busy staring at his bulge?

              Duran was past his best but he was still a hell of a fighter and it's impossible to think he was knocked out like that. If you watch his fights against Leonard, Hagler and Barkley (all when Duran was past his best) you'll realize why Hearns' performance in that fight was so good. Hearns knocked Duran OUT COLD.

                The man is only gonna fight in 09, leave him be. There's nothing left for him in boxing anyway. Everyone else is 2 steps behind him in terms of well, everything. If i were Floyd i'd sit tight and let the Mayweather productions be the future of boxing with the help of ODH. If he's to fight again in 09 i'd perfer to have him fight Cotto if Cotto doesn't lose in 08.

                  No kidding, and Duran was 7 months from coming off a close 15 rd battle with Hagler.

                    What the **** has this got to do with Floyd? Stick to the topic, You owned yourself by saying Duran wasn't past his best and now your changing the subject.

                      Styles make fights, and Hearns was a really bad style for Duran with the physical mismatch. It was known in boxing at the time that Duran barely trained for the Hearns fight. Also after having just fought them both, Duran picked Hagler to beat Hearns in the match that came out of this.
