He may not have been hurt but they weren't bombs either. I'm the same guy that picked Roy Jones to beat Robinson so It's not that older fighters are immortal but let Martinez prove something first sheesh.

I favor Hearns of course, in an exciting early rounds fight, then possibly a Hearns stoppage, late.
Martinez under rated? I was thinking the exact opposite. Come on he has ONE ......ONE knockout of an elite opponent and now he's Julian Jackson? Based on him beating Paul Williams and Kelly Pavlik he's able to compete wih Thomas Hearns? It was said earlier in this thread Martinez is not as slick as he thinks. He took some leather from Williams in their first fight and was even dropped and also got dropped by Pavlik. Hearns would've smelled blood and sent him on his way. A more realistic match-up would be Martinez vs Vernon Forrest.
At that moment, yes Martinez was being under rated.
I didnt say that he is a Julian Jackson, but he clearly has some power, and imo knocks Tommy out if he lands clean.
Thats all im giving Martinez in this fight though, pretty much a "Lucky Punch".

Easy fight for Martinez, ill pick him by ko in 1 or 2. Of course I'm talking bout Ronald Hearns. Never in our wildest dreams should we have such fantasy match-up. Remember back to Duran-Hearns. Now go outside and play children. Nothing to see here.

The 160lbs Hearns of 1985-87 would put Martinez cold within 4.
