You guys are looking at this backwards.
This is about Hearns, NOT FLOYD.
Hearns was a flawed fighter if he couldn't you out of there by round 6. Yes, he won decisions against fighters, but his core was rounds 1-4 easily.
Floyd Mayweather is and was, always has been, the master against guys who come out aggressive.
Hearns' lankiness wouldn't mean a damn thing - as Floyd/Corrales taught us.
Ray Leonard would not engage the same way Manny Pacquiao didn't engage, and for the same reason - Floyd would catch him with some shots and make Ray more guarded about throwing freely against him.
"smaller guy" don't mean a damn thing when skills are front and center.
"puncher" doesn't mean a damn thing when skills are front and center.
STOP TALKING ABOUT PUNCHERS AND POWER AND KNOCKOUTS. It is NOT the only way to win a fight FFS~!
