Hearns vs Trinidad

[Mr140]

Hearns is going to make Tito look like a fool much like Oscar, Hopkins and Wright did. Tito could be out boxed his movement was not elite and could not adjust his game plan. As for Hearns chin he was stopped by Hagler and Blade who were huge hitters it took Leonard for ever to stop him.

At 147 Trinidad's body shots cave in Hearns. A left hook to the chin would just be the icing on the cake.
Leonard was not known for his power.

Now that you mention Oscar, however....
Oscar would be KO'ed inside 8 rounds by Hearns at 147.

Never said Oscar would win he just out boxed Tito and so would Hearns. Leonard had power at ww and he is miles ahead of tito when it comes to boxing his foot work makes tito look like a amateur. Took him for ever to find Hearns Tito getting a boxing lesson from hitman or put to sleep.

We'll never know will we. Consider that most of Hearns' victims at 147 were much shorter than him, and with a power deficit, although Pipino Cuevas was a fearsome puncher in his own right. Trinidad was a lot closer in height, something Hearns wasn't used to at 147. Hearns gave Leonard all sorts of problems, but it wasn't because he outboxed him. Few if any fighters could outbox Leonard. It was Hearns' power and reach that bothered Leonard. Hearns also used his jab very effectively. That being said, I don't see Hearns outboxing Trinidad by as much a margin as you say. Take that away and all that's left is Hearns' power vs. Trinidad's. Trinidad also had tremendous stamina and recuperative powers, something rarely mentioned here. No boxing lesson here. Trinidad takes out Hearns at 147 in the middle rounds at the latest.

Leonard was 5'10 with a 74 inch reach and Tito is 5'11 with a 72.5 reach and Tommy Hearns is 6'1 with a a 78 inch reach so not like Tito be better off with shorter reach then Leonard. We do not know what would happen but every time he has face elite boxer he got lesson be no different with Hearns.

every time he has face elite boxer he got lesson

This is like the boxing version of refried beans or MASH reruns. After a while they both get you sick.
I know this line gets regurgitated a lot, but to me it just discounts and insults the merits of all of Trinidad's victims throughout his career. And it ignores the fact that of Trinidad's three losses, one came against RJJ Jr at 170 and near the end of both their careers, and another was against a defensive wizard in Wright. Granted, Trinidad was clueless in both the Wright fight and the Hopkins fight, but hey.... still a HOF and ATG career.

I don't mind the opinions of those who feel Hearns would have KO'ed Trinidad at any weight. I'm not so sure that wouldn't happen myself. But seeing Trinidad's weaknesses from a constructive viewpoint and just plain hating on the man, are two completely different things. I always know where you're coming from.

I do not think he is hating, it is just his opinion. I do know that if Trinidad did land he would finish Hearns at welterweight. Tito was an excellent finisher.

It is fine if he does not want to listen to reason for the love of god he said that Leonard was not known for his power as a ww what kinda person says that. Tito got huge gift against Oscar who also came up short in big fights. He also did not win a round damn near against Wright or Hopkins yet he is going beat Hearns not to mention he would get drop early slow starter. Leonard had power better reach better foot work and better chin and he had to lose his eye to beat Hearns.
