Do you think Floyd would have been able to take rounds off Hearns?

[IraqiSword]

Hearn destroys him, Floyd's a good fighter but Hearn massacres any welterweight not name Sugar Ray Leondard

[FinitoxDinamita]

Hearns got too much range on floyd, he can box and brawl. Hearns is Floyd’s cryptonite..

That soft punching, pot shotting bullsht aint gonna work on Hearns. Im so confident that hearns would beat floyd id bet big..

[chrisJS]

It's a terrible style match for Floyd. Hearns at his best probably only loses to Leonard and Robinson at Welterweight. Just too long, quick, skilled and powerful.

I'd say it's possible Floyd takes a round or two but he'd get hit and hurt and finished. Hearns inside 6 rounds.

I'm sure there's Floyd fans on here who would tell you that 2010 Mosley is better than Hearns or that Maidana could beat him but I think that's nonsense.

Not a fat chance! First off, Hearns would have never let Floyd past that jab and Floyd is not a powerful inside fighter and his inside game is when his back is to the ropes and Hearns would always stay at arms length. So that would mean Floyd would have to get inside in the middle of the ring and Hearns would be too strong. Floyd would have no effective game in the fight...Hearns is too big, too powerful and too fast, something people forget. Those times Floyd was hurt was by guys who were smaller than Hearns and hit half as hard as he does. 6 rounds or less Hearns by KO.

the real question is can hearn even win a round?

Floyd would be forced to fight outnof a high guard. His low.punch output would be a nightmare for himself vs hearns . The reach and height would be his demise. Floyd wouldnt go all 12 unless he decided to literally just survive to go all 12 . If he tried to win hearns beats him up badly.

may would use hearns powers against him. like he does all his opponents.

but lets be real, here. people insist that ww may was the best may. IT WASNT. ww hearns was the best hearns.

so, you take a bigger guy in his prime and right div vs a smaller guy whos not at his optimum best and not in his optimum div.....should be a mismatch.

but were talking about may. the smartest dude in the game. i dont think hes going to feed himself to tommys attributes. he may not beat hearns but it would be far from a pushover. 8-4 ud (tommy scores a flash kd).

Practically every modern-day welterweight including Floyd would have lost to either four kings. They all have wins and losses in each other, and Hearns was the biggest puncher of them all. The lesser welterweights would not stand a chance with any of these four.

I disagree. I think Crawford, Spence, and Thurman could hold their own against Duran, Leonard, and Hearns. All three have weaknesses that they can exploit.

And if Foyd did get past that Jab, a titanic straight right hand is waiting for him.

Like what? You are delusional if Floyd win with a jabbing contest against Hearns. No one in history have out boxed hearns in 1 roud, out fought yes, but never had he lost to being out boxed.
