I just viewed the pole and its amazing how emmotions over rule logic... Hearns losses to both these guys, Roy is more likely to put him out tho.
At the sametime, Hearns has as much a chance to put Roy out a Roy has to put him out. Both Roy and Hearns have shown a weakness, when they get hit they get hurt, esspecially to the chin.
In Hearns case he Stays hurt, Roy just goes to sleep. Floyd beats both these guys far more than they beat him.

RJJ beats Hearns at any weight above 154 (he'd be too drained).
I agree that FLoyd is no ATG WW, and at 147 Floyd would be KO'd.
But I believe 130-140 is Floyds best weight - and he could've been one of the greatest 130-135 lbs of ALL time.

Originally posted by polarcub View PostManny had said that Tommy Hearns would have easily knocked out and hurt Floyd, he would have a much tougher time against Roy but Manny's theory is that at even 168 Tommy still counters any 'naturally gifted boxers' and Roy was a naturally gifted super boxer.
On a side note it is very obvious Manny Steward loved Tommy the most out of all his fighters. By far.
Any subject having to do with Tommy he just lights up and talk on and on about how great Tommy was and how he coulda beaten almost anyone.
I think for Manny
it is
Tommy Hearns- the true love
Lennox Lewis- the wife
Wladimir Klithscko - the 2nd wife after true love and wife died from cancer.

Floyd would have to run and box beautifully for 12 rounds because Hearns would be coming and coming hard at him.
RJJ would be interesting because he's bigger but I don't think he can take Hearns' shots

Hearns is a bigger underdog against Jones than Floyd is against Hearns. And I don't see Floyd getting knocked out. I really think that's unlikely.

The Hitman!
Hearns would be all wrong for Floyd, too long, great jab, the right hand behind it was devastating. He was extremely underrated in terms of skills. A fight against Roy could go either way, I'll say this, it wouldn't go the distance. I think at 160 Hearns outboxes Roy probably ices him too. Who did Roy ever beat that even came close to having the ability Hearns did? His was a bit chinny at times and that wasn't such a good thing to be against Roy in his prime. If I was a betting man my money would be on the Motor City Cobra.

Roy probably would have knocked Hearns out. He wasn't at his prime at Roy's prime weights. The fight with Floyd would be really interesting. Floyd would have real problems countering the long Hearns jab. I don't think it's any guarantee he gets KO'ed, but it's possible. It's also possible that he outboxes Hearns and wins.
