Does any fighter post 1980 beat a 147-154lb prime SRL/Hearns????

Put the pipe,alcohol or needle down.Mayweather, with his pot-shots couldn't beat either of them in his wettest of dreams.Couldn't get inside Hearns' jab and SRL could do anything May could and had the power to stop him which he lacked.

Whilst I agree both beat Floyd, a lot of that is due to natural size. Also Floyd and SRL are drastically different fighters. Floyd is better defensively and more airtight all round whilst SRL is more offensive and has more tools in that department. I actually think it would be a very competitive fight, but ultimately SRL determination and natural advantages will get him the W.

Mayweather outboxes both of them at 147.

No chance.

Leonard and Benitez couldn't outbox Hearns.

The only way to beat Hearns was to overpower him.

Maybe Miguel Cotto.

Good shouts, but I'd have given McCallum a huge chance.

Hmmm...I think Oscar, Trinidad, McCallum could hang with me & Tommy, but ultimately we would beat them all. I still get nightmares about Tommy...

No and if today'd practice of weighing in the day before the fight were used, there is no one I would favor against Hearns at 147, ever.

I can think of fighters who would be competitive, but likely not winning.

Trinidad
De La Hoya
Mosley
Whitaker
Pac @ 147
Terry Norris (though he holds a win over a past-prime SRL)
Vernon Forrest
Winky Wright
