Would Tommy Hearns dominate at welterweight today

[sicko]

Don't CARE! More interested in seeing this CURRENT ERA fight it out to see who is KING instead of worrying about Fantasy Matches we will NEVER SEE!

That's disrespectful. I think Crawford, Spence, and Thurman are on the same level as Duran, Wilfred, and Leonard on a talent basis

They can be on that talent level but them 3 won’t beat Duran Wilfred or Leonard I doubt they beat Arron Pryor

Let's be real here. Duran had trouble with Leonard's movement. Do you really think he would beat modern athletes like Crawford and Thurman who have just as good of movement as Leonard. Hearns was special but we saw what happened when you drag him in a war. I think Spence would be a live dog against Hearns. Wilfred is too close to call imo

based on what

Crawford is basically a bigger Pernell, Thurman is a more athletic Mosley, and Spence is a more rugged Norris. They would hold their own pretty well.

Yes. These guys won't even fight each other. In Hearns' day everyone fought everybody. Hearns would be ducked left and right today.

if only paul willie had just a lil discipline.....

[boliodogs]

I think he probably would beat them all with Spence being his hardest fight. Hearns had already out grown welterweight when he lost to Leonard. He only stayed at welterweight to fight Leonard and then went to 154 which was a better weight for him. He was ahead on points when Leonard stopped him. Hearns had such a great left jab and straight right and lightning hand speed. He would be very hard to beat for any 147 or 154 pound boxer in history.

[_original_]

Hearns beats everybody today from 147 to 160.

So true.

I think that dude would fight anybody and would have been very hard to beat at 147.
