    I struggle to even imagine Hearns vs Mayweather - just can't work it out! Mayweather probably wouldn't be able to put Tommy down even if his chin is edgy and if Hearns landed what SSM did on Floyd (given Flloyd was past his prime then) then I would'nt see him lasting - However he is so so quick - but so was Leonard and Hearns still tagged him a hell of a lot! SO I suppose I would go for - HEARNS

    Hagler Hopkins!? Hopkins i'm thinking would be most effective when fighting like he has done the last 6 or 7 years which is actually his prime I would say with his best results - Hagler wouldnt take no headbutting shit I wouldnt have thought - Id go for Marvin 116-112 probably.

    Opinions!?
    Tommy Hearns for 12 rounds outboxed SRL, he also outclassed an excellent defensive fighter in Wilfred Benitez. I've never seen anyone outbox Tommy Hearns, and i don't think Mayweather would either because he hasn't got the size or reach.

    To beat Hearns you have to be aggressive, i don't think Mayweather would be willing to take that chance against the hard hitting Hearns, i think it would look alot like the Benitez fight with Mayweather not getting dominated. But losing the rounds being too cautious and in the end loses a decision.

    As for B-hop/Hagler i really couldn't tell you, i think this is a 50/50 match up and it would also depend on which version of each fighter we are on about.

    Hagler in his early days was a boxer/mover, but in his championship reign he was much more of a come forward aggressive fighter. Where as its the total opposite for Hopkins who at first was a come forward aggressive fighter, who then changed his style into a slick boxer in his later career.
