    Floyd is too slick for Hearns.Even if you have huge reach advantage you can't outbox FM.He always finds a way to win.Plus Floyd is pretty tough.

      Sigh, another Mayweather fantasy fight. Out of all the fighters to lace up, it's always Mayweather vs, for some reason.

        Hideous style matchup for Floyd, worse than fighters like SRR and SRL who are higher up the all-time P4P list.

          Only boxer who’d love Floyd’s fighting space and distance will be hearns. Aside from maybe hmm pernell?
          Floyd often makes his opponents box, make a sluggers box and watch him do his stuff.
          But hearn would love that kind of pace since he’s obviously bigger and longer, and can actually reach floyd without jumping and being outbalance like most guys have to do.

          Only chance would be for floyd to fight in the inside. And tie up hearns. And throw his combos.

          He’ll have minimal space for error. But fantasy wise, if he’s brave enough i’d love to see how he’ll handle hearns. Or vice versa.

          I hope an interviewer would ask that to floyd one day; how will you fight prime hearns?

            The problem with Floyd is he doesnt fight an inside fight mid ring so he cannot use an inside fight plan and getting to the inside means walking into very powerful punches and that leaves him being set up by the piston jab by Hearns and when the right hand connects, Floyd is crushed. When Floyd fights off the ropes, it is against much smaller fighters. Floyd cannot turn puncher because his power cannot turn a fight around. Hearns would maintain distance and keep unloading on Floyd while Floyd retreats to the ropes. There is no game for Floyd, no safe haven that would work against the freak of nature that Hearns was. And Hearns had lightning speed that makes those power punches even more difficult to avoid.

              Hearns by murder. Floyd would have a hard time keeping Tommy off him. Tommy was too fast, long and powerful. Tommy was also one hell of a pure boxer.

                Hearns by KO. Lil Floyd would be doing the chicken dance early in the fight and finished quickly.

                  I hope you're talking about Eddie Hearn and not Thomas Hearns because I can't see Mayweather ever beating any version of Thomas Hearnsl.

                  Can you imagine trying to pull off a pull counter right hand with a guy with that big a height and reach advantage?

                    this here. This question has been asked numerous times. As such, I'm gonna go with Mayweather by UD or KO.

                      Hearns and not even close. This type of situation shows why it's a bad joke to even consider Mayweather in a TBE discussion
