Hell, no 5'10 purebread Benitez couldn't, natural FW pac, Lw floyd or Whitaker aren't going to. Hearns was a monster at 147 - Floyd pr Pacquiao wouldn't be able to hurt him or even land all that much, those guys would have stayed in the lower weights. Hearns is getting massively underrated here lol - they would be running all night in survival mode.
Leonard was bigger, lengthier and had a hell of a punch at 147 - i would say he was even faster then all those guys as well. And even still, Leonard was losing most of that 15 round fight, and he finally got him, also Hearns didn't really go down they stopped the fight. In his prime Hearns was tough.
