FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR VS THOMAS HEARNS AT 147

Floyd was hurting Shane...Shane walked through Margarito's punches. People still underestimate Floyd's power.

 

First of all, you can stick your asinine comment somewhere painful.

Hearns is a much better Welter than Mayweather and only a Mayweather groupie like you would think otherwise. Mayweather is nowhere as much of a puncher at Welter (beating up old and inactive Shane Mosley means nothing here) as you would like him to be. The Mosley we saw this past weekend would have been in for a world of hurt against Leonard or Hearns.

Mayweather will not be able to potshot his way to a win and he doesn't have the offensive to get to Hearns the way Leonard did. The best he can hope for is a convincing decision loss.

 

Mayweather 115-113, 116-112, 115-114

 

:atu:

 

Hearns in a lopsided decision victory, maybe even a late TKO where Uncle Roger pulls him out

 

Ah, MM, where fighters are better than they actually are..

 

There's a tipping point when you just don't take shots as well as you did, and 16 months out at 38 is a perfect way to tip you over that edge. Shane was uncoordinated from the first bell.

Agree Floyd's power is a bit underrated though. He's by NO means feather fisted.

 

Ah, TLC, who doesn't have the first clue of how good fighters actually are today let alone from 30 years ago.

 

PBF would be very lucky to see the final bell in this one.
Hearns by K.O or comfortable dec.
PBF will not be able to bridge the distance, will not have the workrate, & will be in such a defensive shell after a while that any kind of offense would be the furthest thing from his mind.

 

Yep. Especially Mayweather to his groupies.

 

41-0 speaks for itself, Hearns got KO'd by Leonard. ::

 

When someone likes to hide their favorite fighter behind only numbers or stats, that is more often than not a sign that a resume is nothing special. Floyd's resume at 147 is nothing special and not one fighter he has faced in this class is anywhere close to as good as either Hearns OR Leonard.

So 41-0 does NOT speak for itself. The opposition behind that number is what matters...or it matters to folks who actually know something.

So :: all you want, but the real joke is thinking Mayweather would win this matchup...or even that he would take this fight against a prime Hearns.

 

how many rounds do you think it would take leonard to knockout floyd? 3? 4?

 

Yup..Floyd is scared to fight anyone that's a threat.

 

Floyd won't fight Paul Williams,so there's no way in hell he'll fight Hearns.

 

N/A

 

Bullshit, Hearns got KO'd by a non puncher, and made his career out of getting knocked out. Leonard lost to a blown up lightweight and didn't even destroy Floyd's bummy dad, who Floyd is 10x better than. :atu:

 

There;s no "talk" surrounding Paul Williams and that's why he's not a particularly attractive option.

There's talk around Pacquiao and that's why Floyd tried to make that fight.

 

Wow. You don't have a clue about anything do you? I mean really...that's gotta be one of the worst posts I've ever read. What is it with Mayweather groupies and no grip on reality.

Let me guess...you just started watching boxing a very short time ago. And THEN you discovered BoxRec.....

 

Hearns lost 3 times. ::

 

Oh, that's right....he bravely faced a 38 year old & inactive Mosley at 147.

Mayweather would never, ever fight Hearns.

 

Absolutely.

 

Paul Williams will beat Floyd Mayweathers ass

 

Based on what?

 

Not necessarily.

 

This is an interesting fight.....Tommy was somewhat vulnerable to the left hook and I can see Floyd keeping him honest with that, and Floyd's smart enough to know he'd need to establish some respect early to keep Hearns from unleashing a hell storm on him. So I think he'd come out more assertively than some might envision. But in the end Tommy's got far too much firepower for Floyd to gain much of a foothold in this. He also has an unpredictable offence which i think is an important ingredient against Floyd, who's exceptionally good at gauging & anticipating a guys patterns in terms of how they set to throw.

Low output fight, Hearns wins pretty clearly on all the cards.
