Happy birthday to the Hit Man

[X]

A very happy birthday to the original and best Hit Man, Tommy Hearns.

A freak of nature, supremely skilled and the only boxer to outbox greats like Ray Leonard, Wilfred Benitez and also the difficult Virgil Hill.

But best known for that truly devastating straight right, delivered like a rifle with speed and accuracy.

A warriors mentality, frightened of nobody, would go toe to toe with anyone and who never avoided anybody in his career. A man who genuinely wanted to hurt whoever was in the ring with him, even in sparring!

A nightmare to face, he would have given serious problems to any welterweight who ever fought.

Happy birthday, buddy.

Floyd would’ve rolled all those right hands and countered him all night long

[Master]

Floyd would have never fought him.

[Dark Lord Al]

My boxing hero , happy birthday Tommy.

Best right hand in the history of boxing IMO. His chin was his Achilles heel. He seemed to have little other weaknesses. Huge puncher, very fast hands, great jab, devastating right hand, tall, big reach, knew how to box.

Floyd would have never fought him.

You’re right... he would’ve boxed him

[Master]

Floyd would have never fought him.

You’re right... he would’ve boxed him

Floyd would have been KTFO or stunk the place out getting out boxed.

just curious. You have Hearns on your sig pic (I think that's what it's called), do you honestly think Floyd would've beat Hearns, or are you winding up @Master?
I'm not having a pop , it's not an outlandish opinion , like I said, just curious.
For the record, IMO Hearns wins. I don't think Floyd would get past Hearns's jab. Styles makes fights.
