I think Khan's incredible athleticism is simply too much for an intimidated and badly outgunned Hearns who lacks the boxing skills to handle that speed, the power to hurt Khan or the chin to take Khan's monstrous punchesissed:issed:issed: he's unbeatable... he just beat an old guy with no courage and a ten-cent chin... can't be beat, ya'll
Pick 'em. Chinny or not, boxing has evolved and Khan is a step up in skill and athleticism from the guys Tommy fought.
Two sharp punchers with shaky chins. Hearns had the edge in power while Khan is faster. It could turn either way, I would make Tommy perhaps 60:40 the favorite
why? the evolutionary differences are monstrous Hearns was from the 1980s they didnt even have the world wide web back then
On second take, I may just be favoring Hearns because he's "old school" .. a realistic and objective examination yields that Khan is the superior fighter, he'd probably KO Hearns in 1 or 2 rounds.
