    Worse style for Hearns.

    Based off of the fights you saw, what type of boxer did Hearns struggle against regularly?

    The Hitman style has no weakness.

      His problem was, he didn't attempt to recuperate when hurt. Guys who didn't relent were sometimes able to take advantage of that, eventually.

        Thnr ones who wont stop attacking. Heard like wlad before he hook up with Stewart doesn't know what to do once he gets hurt. No one ever out boxes the hitman but he can be out brawled ND out slugged but that requires some size and power which hagler and lenoatd has. Duran had the power but there as a 5 inch height and 11 inch defecit disadvantage.

          Dudes above are 100%. Hitman was bad in recuperating. Not many boxers in history could force prime Tommy to recuperate though, very little of them.

            I see no weaknesses in Tommy Hearns..to beat him you had to simply be an animal.

              Always wondered how a pro rematch between Hearns and Pryor would have gone down. Probably KO for Hearns but Pryor still had the right style.
