Hearns Ko's Jackson but against Mccallum it's a Hearns decision.

McCallum would have beaten Hearns IMO. He has the chin, conditioning, chin and power to take Hearns out in the late rounds.

Hearns would most likely KO Jackson early.

I'm just not sure that Hearns could hold them both back, who would sanction this 2 vs 1 fight?

These would have been two of the best 154 pound match ups in history - Either one of these fights would have been real classics.

At 154....The Hearns Vs Jackson contest really just comes down to who lands the first big bomb....lights out for who ever lands it. The fight doesn't go past 6 rounds - IF Hearns were to box early...he would probably win.....but if he came in looking for a 1st or 2nd round KO.....Jackson probably wins -

Hearns Vs McCallum is another pick'em......Hearn's is without a doubt in the top 3 or 4 biggest punchers at 154 in history (Jackson being one of them as well).....but McCallum had a rock solid chin....could box...and had a good defense.....Hearns would play hell KO'ing him......I see a very close decision going either way.......Again, if Hearns pride didn't get in the way and from the outset ...he was set to win by Dec....I think Hearns could out box McCallum.....but would he choose to slug??

Hearns ko's Jackson early, 2nd or 3rd round. McCallum though would take everything Hearns could throw, then gradually wear the Hitman down before stopping him late, maybe the 13th round.

Hearns would knock out Jackson early, and beat McCallum on points. McCallum would give him a close fight though
