Great matchup on paper...if they were to fight prime v prime I do wonder if Hearns would go in for a slugfest or if he'd box. Either way Jackson would have as per usual the puncher's chance.

Height was roughly the same Hearns at 6'1 Jackson at 5'11 1/2....but Hearns had the reach on him 78" to 73" (all according to boxrec).


I think Tommy Hearns would box the ears off of Jackson, he might get rocked a time or two, but Hearns was a great enough boxer to handle 12/15 rounds with Jackson, hell he'd probably stop Jackson in 4-5 catching him flush.
