I think Hearns was a better puncher, but Robinson the better fighter. He had a granite chin. I can't say that about The Hitman.
In a fight between the two, no matter the weight class, I pick the original Sugar Ray. He will attack The Hitman and unload unbelievable pressure until Tommy wilts. He can't outbox the Hitman. Nobody can. Has Hearns ever been outbox? I don't think so.

Re: Hearns and Robinson comparison
The name of the whole game is Boxing... Boxing is the art of hitting without getting hit -- and Tommy Hearns didn't accomplish that.
So did Hearns ever get outboxed??? ... Well he sure as Hell got hit real good... Did Floyd Mayweather get hit a lot??? ... Some, but not enough to beat him.

Can you explain to me how Frazier/Marciano/La Motta/Gatti/Fenech etc etc etc etc etc etc got into the HOF because they would take 2/3/4 punche's just to land 1 your calculation's just don't add up stop making out ''THE NAME OF THE WHOLE GAME IS HITTING WITHOUT GETTING HIT'' you know their a plenty of fighter's in the history of Boxing that were world beater's that had the opposite style.............. keep it real Kalan don't bull sh.t just to make a point most fight fan's love brawler's they don't pay to watch some one like Mayweather who doesn't like to engage in 2 fisted warfare........... me personally I like the type of Boxer's you mentioned the men who know what defence is like I said keep it real
