Boxing Ability--Though Floyd is a great boxer Hearns was one of the most underestimated boxers out there...Mainly due to his KO ratio and no one really seeing his boxing skills untill the leonard fight but if need be Tommy had them...I give the edge still to Floyd but not by much...
Speed--Hearns was FAST!!!....Anyone who has seen most of his fights know that his speed is what enhanced his power....That straight right came from no where it seemed at times...Floyd has faster combos but if he cant reach Hearns with them effectively they are not that big a weapon....This is a 50/50
Power...There is no question about this who has the most power...Hearns was a welterweight with Light Heavy power as long as Tommy does not look for one big shot that his opp is expecting and boxes his power punch was a suprise as well as leathel...Ask Duran about that...Anyone Remember James Shuler??...Flod could not eat too many of them or the night would be over
This one would come down to who was having the better night between the two and who was able to put their game plan into effect the best that night....
depending on who was on thier A++ game that night
Hearns by TKO...or Floyd by Dec
