I cannot see many people beating Tommy Hearns at 154. Winky would be outboxed as he would not be able to hurt Tommy.
Agreed!!! Not only was Hearns a muderous puncher, but he was also a great boxer with a great jab that setup the right cross. He was also very fast (much faster than Taylor)& I could see him possibly stopping Winky. I also think Winky vs. Duran would be a good scrap but Winky couldn't stop him; if Hagler couldn't there's no way in hell that Winky could & Hagler struggled with Duran when he was way past his prime at 160.

Yep...he also was much more steady on his legs at 154. It seemed like the perfect weight for him. He didn't have to worry about being the physically smaller guy like he did with the natural middles like Barkley....yet his power was still devastating.
