That's bullshit, Thomas Hearns was a great fighter, but Margarito walks through what Hearns dishes out and KO's him late especially in a 15 round fights. Hearns hits harder then Cintron, but not by that much even Emanuel said that, and Margarito walked right through Cintron's punches. If he fought Hearns, at first Hearns would pick him apart, but Hearns didn't have the stamina to keep away from Margarito all night.

People only see the strong points of the old time fighters, but Leonard was able to handle Hearns' power, SAme with Benitez, Same wtih Hayman, Ronnie Shield(stopped on cuts in the 13th I believe) and Colbert who are virtual nobodies. Thomas Hearns was perhaps the hardest guy to outbox p4p ever, but if you are a very excellent pressure fighter, with a chin of concrete you are his biggest nightmare, Magarito wouldn't be as tall, but he would be as big and strong as Hearns, he has enough power to hurt Hearns, he has the workrate and pressure to tire Hearns, and the chin to take anything. Its like James Toney or Tua or Wayne McCullough, some guys you just can't hurt.
