There's no way in hell Floyd Mayweather Jr would beat Thomas Hearns, i like both fighters but come on lets be real here. Floyd Mayweather Jr isn't at his best at Welterweight. Where as Thomas Hearns was and at Jr Middleweight aswell.
Thomas Hearns has all the advantages. Reach, Power, Height, ETC. There handspeed is equal and no way would the shoulder roll work, vs Thomas Hearns.
He would just pot shot Floyd Mayweather Jr, at distance with his jab and the occasional big right hand. The only way Floyd Mayweather Jr could win, is if he come forward. Which i doubt he would.
But if he did he would more than likely get KO'ed, Floyd Mayweather Jr is a very good Welterweight. But Thomas Hearns is a great Welterweight, he outboxed SRL twice for crying out loud.
The fight would look very much like the Wilfredo Benitez fight, where Floyd Mayweather Jr goes the distance. But is outpointed clearly but he doesn't get dominated, he just isn't aggressive enough and is too defensive. Just like Wilfredo Benitez was.
