Either the Hitman would stay at long range to outbox Tiger behind his jabs and right hands to take a decision or vice versa for Tiger as he might cut the Hitman off the ring, ropes or corner by countering him with good big punches to take a decision.

It's not out of the question that Tiger could knock out Hearns. He definitely has the sturdier chin. Hearns is the bigger puncher, but I think it more likely that Tiger's chin is sturdy enough to take Hearns' shots, and I don't know if I can say the same for Tommy.

I know Tiger was never known as a devastating puncher, but he is the bigger man, and especially if it's 15 rounds could break Tommy down over the long haul.

No, but he was knocked down a few times and one of his rivals who knocked Tiger down was Emile Griffith.

Tiger's durability to overcome Hearns and his power and register a 13th stoppage.
