The old expression states something about with speed comes power, Thomas Hearns had incredible speed. Thomas Hearns had incredible power. The combination of both were chilling at times. Add his sometimes overlooked boxing ability and you had a complete package.

If you came into a Thomas Hearns fight anything less then 100% you were going out on your back. Even if you came in at 100% there was a higer percentage then not you would anyway.

Punchers today in the 147-160lb weight classes like Cotto, Miranda, Pavlik and even Cintron pale in comparison, while all are very good Hearns was frightning. His right hand should have been outlawed in most states.
