How would Hearns do against Wright?

[ICB]

I saw that fight live the Holyfield/Qawi. And at the time I was just 21 years old I think (1986?),, and I thought Holyfield fought great but I thought he would never recover-since I thought he put too much out and would be finished. He fought his heart out and I think he only had 12 fights at the time. Shows you how alot of boxing is mental.

yea mate one of best slugfets ive ever seen i want to try and get it for myself now

About as well as Trinidad.

Wright's style would frustrate Hearns into making a lot of mistakes & going for the drop.

Truthfully...I think that Wright's style would give the majority of the 80's bwoy's lots of trouble.

I agree with you, Wright makes you do things you don't want to do, and then he makes you pay for it. A good technically solid southpaw is very dangerous.

to that. I agree 100% on the fact that a good technically solid southpaw is very dangerous.

The thing about Wright is that he's able to come off effectively & he's very fluid behind his guard.

The only one that I think would maybe MAYBE be able to work through Wright would be Hagler.

I concur , Haglar was a very explosive southpaw , and had a terrific beard .

wright hasnt got great power though so i doubt he could ko hearns i feel hearns height reach speed power and jab would get the job done

Seriously..... Reconsider that statement at least. Trinidad was absolutely and thouroughly shut out. He was never even in the fight. Think about the tools Hearns had compared to Trinidad. What a ridiulous statement.

yes agreed like i said in other post hearns is alot taller stronger and well more speed wrights great defence wouldnt help him much im afraid hearns would outbox him for comfortable 12 round decsion

It's just the fact that they have so little in common. Hearns was twice the fighter TRinidad was. Especially at 160. Too many people have been comparing them for whatever reason lately and it's annoying. Tito didn't have the same kind of jab, was nowhere near as fast or polished, didn't have the reach or fundamental skills. He had natural power and a less than stellar chin so people compare him to Hearns when the fact is Thommy wasn't even naturally powerful he just knew how to use his right hand perfectly. He wasn't a brawler like Trinidad. It's just such a moot point to compare them in any way.. And anyone who thinks Hearns at his peak would do "about as well as Trinidad" against WRight, are dillusional. That wasn't even Tito close to his best, not that it would have made much difference Ill admit to that.. But HEarns jab would cause all kinds of problems for Winky, though I would personally consider it about a toss up.

Reconsider? Why...because you didn't make the statement?

I didn't compare Hearns to Trinidad. The question was...How would Hearns do against Wright?

About as well as Trinidad...that was the answer...not Hearns is like Trinidad. Don't start pointing the delusional finger at anyone but yourself...check it in the mirror, babe.

Before you go getting all hot & bothered...think before you post something as wack as this:

Hearns jab would have to make it through a much more advanced guard than any one that he had ever faced.

Wright would frustrate Hearns & negate his jab just like he does pretty much everyone that he faces.

Again...Wacko never said that Hearns & Tito should be compared...Wacko simply stated: About as well as Trinidad.

Wright's style would frustrate Hearns into making a lot of mistakes & going for the drop.

Truthfully...I think that Wright's style would give the majority of the 80's bwoy's lots of trouble.

Hearns was one of my favorites back in the day...I think everyone knows that I view Trinidad as a one dimensional power puncher. Tito's jab failed him & he wasn't able to get anything else through the guard either.

So you see Hearns being shut out totally, just like Trinidad was? You don't think Benitez had a good guard that was anywhere near Wrights? Do you really need to refer to yourself in the 3rd person as well.

i like Hearns in this one. Although i'm a fan of both id say Hearns is in a far higher class than the opponents winky has fought

[ICB]

wacko u make good point mate but that defence would do him no good though hearns would just go in and out stick and move use the jab and that right hand hearns has would shake up wright because that right hand is very powerful like i said before mate i like ud for hearns plus height is difference aswell hearns is quite fair bit taller than wright.

Jermain Taylor tried that but I think you're forgetting that Wright can use his defense just as effectively going forward

taylor isnt as quick or powerful as hearns thats difference yes i know wright can but hearns reach is 6 inches difference aswell and he would use it believe me hearns has advantage in height speed power footwork and he would outjab wright for 12 ud
