    Slight puncher chance for Benn, but Hearns wins this 8 out of 10

    This one has been done before, several times, and the same views tend to be posted. I still think Benn is too big and powerful for him, but I don't doubt for a second that Hearns is P4P better and by a lot. Him winning wouldn't exactly surprise me.

    if hearns loses, it wouldn't be because of size. hearns was every bit a middleweight.

    Yeah, I was about to say that. Hearns was a bigger man than Benn.

    Tommy looked filled out and big at 175.

    Benn was small at 168.

    I’ll take Hearns via KO.

    But it’s one of those fire fights that depends on who lands the first big shot.

    Yeah, I probably mistyped. Hearns was no midget, but I feel that Benn has the natural strength at 160 and the power to win this early.

    This is a fight that I think could have gone either way by stoppage in my view. Although I think Hearns has a higher chance at stopping Benn. But my God what a brutal fight that would have been.
