At Light Heavyweight,

The Hitman takes the decision in a 12 round bout. In the 15 round bout, either the Hitman or Conteh would take a decision, but the fight would be a war with both fighters exchanging jabs and combinations with either man may take advantages over the other.

Great fantasy fight!

I cant see this fight going the distance- both fighters would be damaged, although the Conteh from the mid 70's would potentially too much for Hearns.

Conteh is one of the greatest light heavyweights, Hearns would struggle to really hurt him at 175 and I think Hearns would be beaten by tko late on.

John Conteh wins. He was much stronger than The Hitman at 175.
