15 rds Light Heavyweight
Hearns was a great fighter.But not so much at light heavyweight.Harding wasn't a great fighter,but he was big ,strong and a rugged workhorse.Could Hearns move and box and keep him off for 15 rds?

Or would Harding close the distance and start to rough him up and wear him down?

I think Hearns wins via UD or late split eye TKO.

Hearns would out-box and out-box Harding behind his quicker jabs, combinations and many big right hands to knock Harding out in the late rounds in the battle of the Hitman.

I'll take a punt and say Harding.

Hearns by UD as well.

Hearns on points-he was a far superior boxer and I don't think Harding catches and kos him.
