If you are talking p4p, then maybe, but if you are talking in actual terms, then I don't think so.

Even though Hearns is taller, RJJ is physically bigger & stronger.

RJJ is probably even quicker than Hearns & I think he would be too strong for Tommy.

As said previously, Tommy didn't have the best success against elite fighters (Duran excepted & he was past it) & RJJ was an elite fighter.

I take Roy to KO Tommy in about 8.
duran wasnt past it because had one hell of a fight with barkley in 1989 one of his best performances plus before he lost to hearns he had just lost close decision to hagler and didnt he beat davey moore in 83 ??
Good point there.

I was a bit harsh on Duran, he was still a great fighter, but he was at his very best in the 1970's.

It was exceptional of Hearns to do that to Duran, because nobody had ever done anything like that to him.
