i'm a little surprised that everyone is going for hopkins i just don't see how he'd win in that hearns could be bullied but not outboxed and hopkins isn't that type of fighter i see hearns winning without to much trouble ina virgil hill type fight

Yes, people seem to forget that Hearns wasn't just some crude slugger, he was a great boxer, and whilst he could be hurt at MW, he wasn't chinny.

I'm not sure Hopkins would have been able to use his tricks against Hearns, with that freakish wingspan.

Marquez, Holmes, Duran, PAC, hearns

Holmes-Foreman when?

Same for me across the board

Holmes vs Foreman and Hopkins vs Hearns are the most interesting fights, and the ones I could most see possibly going the other way.

Holmes
Pryor
Pac
BHop

The only one I don't see as being a toss up fight is Holmes vs Foreman. Holmes nearly lost by KO to Shavers, and would have if Shavers wouldn't have gassed out. Foreman in his prime would have stopped Holmes, no doubt in my mind. (pre-Ali/Foreman) The guy was a wrecking machine. Not terribly skilled, but didn't have to be.

Julio Cezar Chavez wins un dec Juan Manual Marquez
George Foreman wins Split dec Larry Holemans
Roberto Duran wins Tko 11 Arron Pryor
Manny Pacquiao Ko 6 Guillermo Rigondeaux
Tommy Hearns wins un dec Bernard Hopkins

To think there is only 6 years between them is crazy too, would have paid anything to see them fight.
