The Hitman by decision in a classic bout behind his longer jabs, right hands and combinations.

If Tommy does not stop El Feo in the first 5 rounds, I see El Feo winning by unanimous decision. He will work inside with body punches in volumes to do it. He will pressure The Hitman. And I think that he has a very good chin to withstand Tommy's right hand.

But at 154lbs and above, I see Tommy winning by a clear cut decision a la Wilfred Benitez' fight.

I would lean towards Hearns. He could take out Rodriquez, thought it probably would go the distance. Would probably have been a great fight.
