    Thomas Hearns vs Errol Spence

    Both big welters with great kabs. Tommy has size advantage but we saw what happened when he went to war with Hagler. I think Spence breaks him down and stops him in the later rounds.

    Never knew Thurman took on Hagler. Spence would dispose of Hearns in 6 rounds after he gets the rhythm down. The moment Hearns backs up Errol gets the power in his shots.

        Agreed. It would be like Leonard but times 2.

            If Hearns landed the same shots Brook landed, it would be a short night for Spence.
            Both are great fighters though and this is one of those we could only guess at. I wouldn't say one necessarily runs over the other.

              LOOOOL lets not start being silly...... Hearns is an all time great puncher at 147 with a 78 inch reach and a great jab, If Brook could find Spence's chin then Hearns surely would and once that happened that would be the end of the fight.

                Spence has a chin though.

                    He's proven he has a chin but Brook is not in Hearns' stratosphere of power punching. I don't see Spence getting through to land his body shots against a 6 foot 1 78 inch reach opponent that would likely hurt him with every clean right hand.

                    Unless Spence has a prime SRL level of durability, he'd likely be stopped inside of 6.
