Hearns by clear decision at either weight.
Re: Thomas Hearns vs Mike McCallum at 154 and 160
I'd take Hearns by Decision as well. There's always the chance that McCallum could catch him and stop him, but I think Hearns would be able to survive a few scary moments and take it pretty clearly.

Agree with the above two chaps.
Hearns decision at either weight.

The great Mike McCallum is the ONLY GUY that I could see to beat the great Thomas Hearns at 154lbs, where the Hitman was at the peak of his powers. The Jamaican "Body Snatcher" was very good. A COMPLETE FIGHTER. It would be a tough fight to bet against any of the two. But I pick Mike.
Re: Thomas Hearns vs Mike McCallum at 154 and 160
The hearns of 84-86 at either weight wins on points .look at McCallum being outboard by a slower curry for 4 rounds.look at what kalambays movement did to him.look how close the Graham fight was.McCallum was a great and that's why he overcame those 3 eventually.he had a lot of tools in his box,one punch knockout power plus a great brain.but Tommy in this era had blistering speed,boxing skills and still had a chin. That Tommy of 87-89 who began to have a chin hemmorage McCallum might have got him

I agree with Hearns by decision, although a knockout isn't out of the question if he lands a punch as big as the one he stopped Duran with. It's a great matchup in that both guys would have a good chance of winning.
I'd take the Sugar Ray Robinson from his early middleweight days to beat Hearns at 154lb.
