    I think he would knock them all out with the possible exception of iron jawed Canelo who he would beat on points if he didn't knock him out.I think Lara would run like hell. Lara's long straight punches wouldn't work well on Hearns. Hearns had the best long straight jab and long straight right of any 154 pounder I know of. Combine that with Hearn's big reach advantage and Lara has no chance to win. Hearns could be knocked out but it took very good fighters to do. Considering how many great fighter Hearns fought he wasn't easy to knock out. Hearns stayed at 147 too long and was somewhat drained for Leonard at 147. If Leonard had rematched Hearns soon at 154 I think Hearns would have won.

      Oh El Radar was American dream would be some matrix type of match
      I think Williams height and reach is the only way he is like Hearns. Hearns was a lightning fast, highly skilled boxer and a vicious KO artist who was hard to hit. He was vastly superior to Williams in my opinion.

        true,but idk any other big JMW or WW with such a reach,imo Lara is just best current pick against Tommy in JMW style wise,over all Canelo was best JMW but Hearns is all wrong for him.Cant see any worthy opponet for hearns in current JMW

          I dont think lara has the best chance out ot the current crop. People forget that hearns is an excellent boxer and even outboxed leonard for most of the fights.
          Laras reluctance to engage and patience will also work for hearns, because he likes to have some room to think.

          If older charlo gets more experience I think he would trouble hearns the most.

              I would favor Andra and Lara since they are exceptional boxers.
