Strong or weak legs?...This is crazy talk.....Hearns was not a 275lb man with the legs of a lightweight....His whole frame was properly proportioned...Weak legs would only be something that could factor in during the long streatch...But not as being able to absorb a punch and stand upright while doing it...weak legs would effect mobility....

Truth is Tommy had a fair chin but his lanky frame as a whole is what hurt him...he did not have the ability to absorb punishment and be able to absorb it in one spot...

EG- Take a guy like Tyson...Short and stocky with a thick neck...he was able to absorb most of the shock of the blow that shoots down the nervous system in thoe neck and shoulder area...allowing him to keep the rest of his body planted firmly....Hearns was too lanky to be able and do such things...


If that makes sense at all

BTW someone mentioned Leonard and his fight with Tommy ...Ray was underestimated in the power dept and the toe to toe ability dept...Ray was considered a pretty fighter by7 some but make no mistake he could bang when need be
