Mayweather makes Ali claim ahead of Mosley clash

[miron_lang]

If Tommy Hearns was in his prime right now he'd destroy EVERYONE at 147 WITH EASE....Pac couldn't handle him, Shane couldn't handle him, and Floyd sure as hell couldn't handle him.

Too bad Hearns is not around. but the sentence should have been like this.


Pac wouldn't handle him, Shane wouldn't handle him, and Floyd sure as hell wouldn't handle him.

If Tommy Hearns was currently fighting at welterweight he would have fought Paul Williams 3 times already

PBF beats hearns...just like SRL beat him. Wait, no he wouldn't stop him, but he'd def beat him..

I agree with this assessment. Hearns was good but Mayweather is defensive greatness. I have no love for the man or his mouth and want him to get KOd but I can't see Hearns beating him. PBF sure wouldn't stop him but he'd pot shot the hell out of him even with Tommy's long ass arms.

Floyd Jr is not a WW version SRL...Get that straight...Leonard hit harder...Just as fast...SRL also could fight as the aggressor..He often did...Leonard did to top rated ATG opponents that Floyd did to Gatti...They are not even on the same level at WW.......Against Hearns Floyd would have to be the aggressor if he tried to lay and counter punch he would get murdered...

People forget how great Hearns was at Welterweight, it took a top 3 atg WW in Leonard to beat him, and it was a back and forth fight.

Mayweather is a great no question, just not a welterweight great, and imo he doesn't beat Hearns.

Floyd does not beat Hearns at fukkin all.

Tommy was only 21 and not in his prime when he lost to SRL , in his prime nobody below MW outboxes Tommy , Mayweather is a fantastic fighter ,but name anyone he has fought who comes near to Hearns in speed ability and power ,oh and SIZE .
For me Paul Williams ( who isnt as good as Tommy ) would beat Mayweather.
