I like Tommy Hearns, but, Michael Moore was too strong. I can't see Tommy hurting him. Moore by knockout in 5.

Moorer was a better heavy, but he definitely had the power to stop hearns. He'd also be a sucker for Tommy's straight right. Tough call.

Obviously p4p Hearns no contest.
However, at 175 I don’t have a lot of faith in Hearn’s chin.
Hearns schools his Kronk stablemate until MM chins him.

He was pretty sturdy at 75, albeit with a smallish sample. Moorer struggled with Leslie steward which was his only notable Lt heavy fight. Stopped on cuts. How effective Tommy's jab would be is likely the key.

I think MM’s power would be the equalizer.

I’m surprised they never got in the Kronk ring with one another.

Man, I wish the original Kronk could have been saved

Might be, he might also get comprehensively outboxed or iced himself. The best light heavy hearns was the one that thrashed andrade. He was lightning fast and strong.
