H2H is Hearns unbeatable at 147-154?

[Dr Rumack]

He wasnt particularly good at conserving energy on the back foot which imo played a big part in him gassing

His chin and survival instincts weren't great either.

Edit: against great fighters that is

The lack of survival instincts is a very good point.He was too pure a boxer if anything. Looked a bit like Wlad when he was in trouble. Desperately reaching with those long arms, with no real understanding of how to tie up.

A case can be made. Under todays rules he wouldn't have got KO'd in the 14th because fights only go 12 and he was up on all the cards.

If it was a 12 round fight it would be a completely different fight so the fact he was up on the cards in the 14th is irrelvant.

He lost the fight.

[Larry the boss]

I mean he literally did lose at h2h at 147 soooooooooooo

[Larry the boss]

How can you be unbeatable at a weight when you've lost at that weight?

lol.....exactly..i dont understand posters anymore

Yeah good comparison. I just watched Hearns vs Leonard and Hearns vs Hagler and in both fights he just didnt know what to do when his opponent had him hurt.

A better question for the thread imo is "is Hearns impossible to outbox at 147?"

Because theres a few (not many) who I would pick to beat him. Outboxing him is a different question. If Benitez and Leonard couldnt do it then you know the list is going to be very small.

nearly, if he had margarito's chin, then yeah.

Ray robinson
Mike mccallum would have a chance
Julien Jackson if he lands


Probably some old timers I'm leaving off

But hearns is probably top 5 h2h in both weight classes

[Mr. Objectivity]

It was pretty clear that Hearns was hurting Hagler until he broke his hand. He didn't have the power after that. Sorry but it's the truth. Hearns would have stopped Hagler if he didn't break his hand.

It was a war , because marvin wanted it to be a war. No way hearns chin hold up with haglers aggression. shut up. you dont know what you're talking about

[Cheeko12]

He would be hands down the best in this era
