Would Floyd Mayweather stand a chance against prime Hearns?

thread has potential to pop off

PW and Hearns were both freakishly tall (for welterweights) volume punchers with great shot placement. And although we can speculate on whether Floyd would've beat PW, I'm not lying- he wanted no parts of PWs and retired when he was on a tear in the welterweight division. That's fact bro. I witnessed it all. Mayweather camp avoided Williams because it was high risk low reward, which unfortunately was the case for a lot of potential fights in Mayweathers career. Just calling a spade a spade bruhs

ill just paul williams say it for himself cause im tired of explaining myself


also, it doesnt matter how tall you are if you fight small
and paul williams fought small

Floyd was scared of an Asian midget what makes you think he would even step in there with a beast like hearns.

Hearns knocks that c00n midget out in super quick time.

idiot

That video doesn't prove anything bro. PW first and foremost, was and is always a man of integrity, class and respect. So no, Id never expect him to say anything bad about Floyd or anybody. Hes a humble champ. And I don't know what fights ure referring to where he fought "small"- he fought on the inside a lot yes, but wasn't giving up his height in his fights. Hed use his reach to throw volume and then fight on the inside where he extraordinarily threw short hooks on the inside.

Regardless this thread about Mayweather vs Hearns and that bout I'm going with Hearns. Hed be a stylistic nightmare for Floyd. Too much speed and power in a man that size.

There were only 2 tall WW during Floyd's reign. PW and Margacheato....he fought neither.

Floyd has power that needs to be respected

I could see him popping hearns with slick counters...if he puts Floyd against the ropes, something terrible could happen. Reach and speed combo was otherworldly for that division.

He still a grown man. But he not hurting hearns

Only by the 6 women he physically beat. But in terms of boxers who are male, naaaaaw son. Floyd has no power. Not even the xylocaine could give power to those mitts.

If he had no power, everyone would steamroll him. No way in the world a 10 year old box8ng prodigy with NO power is beating me.

Hearns aint walking through floyds power
Hes had fukked up hands the last 8 or so years of his career and was backing up bigger dudes without even fullu sittin on his punches

None of them bigger guys were a prime hitman

None as he had serious right hand power. The one thing that always made TH an exciting fighter was his chin. Benitez rocked him hard and he was known more as a slick boxer puncher rather than a power puncher (discounting Maurice Hope)

not talkin about fighter quality
im talkin about chin
if floyd can back off dudes outweighin him by 15-20 pounds on fight night with his power
then he can make hearns respect his power as well
dont forget before the injuries, floyd had knockout power in both hands
he wouldnt knock out hearns, but lets not act like hes paulie

Agreed. Floyd pre hand injuries stands a chance against anyone but I'd pick bigger more athletic guys with good skill like hitman srl, srr, maybe even a benitez or Vernon forrest
