No one could have said it better, then Emmanuel. R.I.P
Manny is 100% right!!!!!
Hearns kills Cotto too...and Dela Hoya, Trinidad, Mosely, all of the new ones...Sugar Ray whips their asses too.
Tommy Destroys Floyd. Floyd never fought anyone like Tommy if at 147 he had so much problems with A old Mosley imagine if that was Hearns right hand instead of Mosley.! KO
Sugar Ray Leonard when he was at his APEX after the 1st Duran fight had the tools to beat ANYONE P4P, he just had to find the way during the fights, and that is HARD AS HELL to do. SRL was special. Once his speed dropped a little, yeah he was beatable then, but hell, even in the 2nd Hearns fight, he was ONE punch away from dropping Tommy through the whole fight. He was knocked down twice, but he took Hearns punches better than Hearns could take his, and that's why Hearns fought so well in that fight: He knew he couldn't get hit!!
I could listen to Emanuel Stuart all day man so much knowledge about the sport and life in general may he rip
I agree 100%. The Hit Man would've knocked out Floyd.
True that. Floyd had trouble when his opponent had a good jab. Hearns had a GREAT jab. And if Floyd comes at Hearns, he removes his own greatest asset (his Philly defense) and opens himself up to the Hearns cannonball right. Floyd would have been lucky to just survive the flight.
Maybe Money Mayweather but not Pretty Boy
@@andredaghoztscott7023 Money May is already too small for Hearns. Pretty boy was way way too small for Hearns.
@@andredaghoztscott7023 pretty boy vs hearts would been awesome
I miss him so much,he was the best trainer of his time,at least I think so,we will never have another trainer like him,rip you are surely missed.
His statement proves that Ali would've won against Mike Tyson easily. This that same thing I've been saying all along to all these Tyson fans. Tyson Fury would've knocked Mike Tyson out too.
Sorely*?
Ali was a technical boxer
Rest in Peace Emannuel Steward.
You can knockout Tommy Hearns, but you cannot outbox Tommy Hearns, especially at Welter and Light Welter. I don’t think Prime Mayweather has anything for Tommy Hearns. Sugar Ray won the 1st fight against Hearns, but he was still frightened in the rematch. That’s who Tommy Hearns was.
agreed.
They fought twice? I thought so also but if you google it they only speak about the split draw but we all know SRL got the TKO in the first fight and ppl thought Hearns won the second that ended in a draw. That was one of those fights you question if the judging was for the, fighters/promotors/trainers/everyone else involved, stock or not. If you dig deeper on google you can find both fights but its like theyre purposely trying to set up these Mandela effects so ppl will question their sanity. Lol Seems that way anyhow. I mean if you type in Leonard/Hearns 1 or 2 they auotmatically go to 2. Type in how many times did they fight and it also just speaks of the second fight. Js
Bro, Floyd wins a majority decision over Tommy Hearns
@@brianjackson3031 if his chin can hold up Floyd not boxing on the outside for 15 rounds; 36 min fights vs 45 min fights is a big difference
C3PO did not have a silver leg, it was gold.
NOBODY ever outboxed Thomas Hearns.
LEONARD outboxed him. Hearns was never able to hurt or daze Leonard in the way that Leonard was able to hurt and daze him at various points. Hearns had knocked out EVERYONE else before Leonard, now. So, let's not get carried away. Leonard's skill in movement, defense and punching were troubling enough to wear Hearns out every time.
seereeuss you're fucking delusional hearns was outboxing leonard in the first fight and he was on his way to a ud until leonard realized he was losing the fight and he went for the knock out and he got it. hearns actually hurt leonard you idiot in the second fight he hurt him and dropped him and then beat him but he got robbed, even ray leonard said in a interview that hearns beat him the second time.
No. Hearns NEVER hurt Leonard in a stifling way during either bout. Leonard's boxing skills such as the defense and the movement prevented him from doing so. That is why the fitness was always there to finish Hearns off. The point you are missing is this: Hearns was ABLE to bust up the faces of Iran Barkley and Marvin Hagler before they too knocked him out. Yes, of course, Tommy and his manager would take more pride in those losses!! It is less humiliating to lose to a fighter that you, at least, did damage to. You've got to learn to understand boxing completely. The goal here in these interviews is to try to play mind games on the nemesis fighter, Leonard.
i guess you didnt see the second time Hearns and Leonard fought, Hearns sent Leonard to the canvas twice in the fight. Leonard was lucky to get a highly controversial draw, but he later admitted Hearns beat him in that fight. But make no mistake about it in the first meeting Hearns gave leobard a boxing lesson.
In the second fight Leonard twice DAZED Hearns with near-knockouts.
Hearns would destroy Mayweather ----PERIOD!
Lmfao not even in the same weight calls at all.
@@noryameric4142 Floyd's not a welterweight?
@@noryameric4142 both prime v prime in the 147 (yes they both intersected at Welterweight) Hearns DESTROYS FMJ.
@@noryameric4142 casual
Hearns annihilates mayweather.
Wow....totally agree with the late great Emanuel Steward. Hitman & Hagler would have had a field day with Floyd, if anything, FLowyd probably would have had an easier time with leonard considering the style clash...but tommy and marvin would have been relentless....there is no way floyds defensive style would have lasted against those guys.
I wouldn’t say haglar I’d say hearns and Leonard would have been Floyd jr toughest fight
Hearns would knockout the whole mayweather family
not a chance
+melhall17 Leonard stopped the Dad. Hearns beats Sr, Roger and Jeff along with FMW Jr
+melhall17 actually TOMMY would have HIT Floyd so hard it WOULD HAVE KNOCKED OUT THE ENTIRE MAYFIELD FAMILY...!...and wouldnt that be something, to have ALL of them silent AT THE SAME TIME!
melhall17 absolutely
greenmean1 absolutely I will knock Mayweather out
I totally agree. Tommy's style, height, reach, boxing skills, and power would be a nightmare for Floyd. Floyd would actually stand a better chance against Ray Leonard than he would against Hearns though he still would get beat by Ray.
I agree. Floyd is a great defensive fighter. I put him as the equal of Benitez. Benitez may have had more raw talent, but Floyd was much better disciplined and trained.
The point is that both SRL and Tommy Hearns overcame Benitez’s defensive genius, and they would have done the same to Floyd.
Hearns would be the hardest to beat out of the 4 for floyd hearns would of destroyed floyd
I agree that would have been a very difficult matchup for Floyd more so than Sugar Ray and Hagler.
If sugar ray beat him floyld would beat him sorry to say
@@BroccoFranzese And Duran would declare, “No Mas” even earlier than in the second Leonard fight 😂
If Duran wasnt partying regularly, he wouldve ate all of them
@Humpty Dumpty Duran from 1st Leonard fight could beat any of them. His inside game was ridiculous
I think Hearns can keep Floyd Mayweather jr. at a distance all night with his height and reach advantage combine with his quick hands and vastly superior power, and force Mayweather to come to him, neutralizing Mayweather’s usual defensive style and skills, Hearns wins and it won’t even be close.
I did not know Manny Steward was dead. I left a comment on another video a while ago saying virtually the same thing about Hearns v Mayweather, great that a true expert sees it the same way.
This was taped in Wladimir Klitchko ‘s camp in 2008 or 2009 during his training leading to Sultan Ibragimov unification bout . What’s funny Sultan trained 45 min away from him with Jeff Mayweather. I was privileged to meet and speak with both champions and both trainers during this preparation . Fight sucked . But styles makes fights
I agree with Emanuel Steward.
Hagler was a middleweight when he beat Hearns, who was junior middleweight champ. Hagler survived some brutal shots on the chin, as did Leonard.
Both men are much bigger punchers than PBF who would be smashed by Hearns.
Hearns did outbox him and Angelo Dundee thought so, that's why he told Leonard he was blowing it. Leonard beat Hearns by launching a do or die attack, not by outboxing him.
Outfighting means that Hagler and Leonard drew Hearns into a brawl.
RIP to the GOAT, he was always on point with his opinion
I've felt for sometime that out of the 4 kings (Leonard, Hagler, Duran, Hearns) that HEARNS would have been the biggest problem for Mayweather. Hearns was a world class boxer who happened to possess one of the most devastating right hands in middleweight history. His most famous losses were to KO type punchers like Ray Leonard and Hagler. Mayweather NEVER had KO type power. He had the power to drop you but not KO you. Hearns had the height, reach and skills to beat Mayweather, maybe rather easily. So cool to know that the late great Manny Steward felt the same way!
All 4 kings in their prime beat a prime mayweather.
@@chinchilla2971 yep all four would be nightmares for Floyd and Duran was a lunatic at lightweight.
@@jamescollier7360 your 100% correct. If you watched the career of the 4 kings and then watched Floyd’s, you can see they are a tier above him. Nothing against Floyd. It just shows you how special those 4 guys were.
@@chinchilla2971 yep 👍🏿
Tommy was too big and too quick and powerful for Mayweather. Tommy would have caught him early and lights out
Emanuel is right about FM. Think about how far Mayweather is behind Ray Robinson. Mayweather would have to have beaten the likes of Gamboa, Crawford, and Garcia, move up to defeat Pacquaio and Bradley at 147, beat Golovkin and Sergio Martinez at 160, and then defeat Bernard Hopkins and Andrew Ward around 175 to even be remotely considered in the conversation.
great guy, met him personally in a gym. humble always
People often go to Corrales to weigh that up,but Hearns is nothing like Corrales.Other than they're both tall,Hearns would circle ⭕ and jab and using his chopping right hand he could take even a Duran level fighter out in one hit.He didn't brawl as nearly as much as Corrales did,he'd stand back and let his range do the work.But even against Ray Leonard he was out menuavering him, circling around him, using the jab,in the 2nd half of the fight.He was also ahead on points, until Ray Leonard, caught him in the 13th Rd,then Leonard took over and eventually stopped him.
Floyd wouldn't be in the ring with any of the 4 King's,until they'd all used each other up, by actually fighting at their primes.Which is really why I can't put Floyd on their levels, even though he's a great in his own right, I've seen other fighters test themselves when it mattered.But I won't put Floyd up there,when Manny Paquiou is 3 years past his own prime and a blown up featherweight 30% on the level of a test as a 25 year old Sugar Ray Leonard.Paquiou had slowed down from where he was at when he was 28 and I still think he beat Mayweather that night.Also I absolutely 💯% know Castillo beat him when they fought.
Miss this Great man God bless him 🙏 with love!!
rip manny he's deeply missed
Hearns one of the top welters of all time.
Stewart resented me talking to Tommy(for whatever reason), Tommy told Emanuel to step back& let us talk...I didn't dislike Emanuel but I REALLY like Tommy, especially then, just as now.
Absolutely agree with the late manny steward, hearns would've had a field day with floyd lol, hearns never ever had problems with technical boxers, Benitez, Leonard, hill etc were all out boxed by hearns, the difference here is that hearns was a devastating puncher too, hearns vs mayweather.. I don't see the fight going past 3-5 rounds.. Hearns too big too fast n too powerful n ko's floyd. Interesting thing manny says is that they ALL fought each other, what he doesn't mention is that they all fought each other in they PRIME, when they all fought each other they were in they 20s, in they physical prime! Who has floyd fought in they prime that was a dangerous fighter? A 38/39yr old Mosely lol or a 36yr old pacman with 60+ fights n a 35yr promoter de la Hoya. Floyds record of opponents is a joke lol.. Compared to that of say hearns, Duran, Leonard n haglers. If hearns was fighting today he'd be the undisputed champion at 5/6 weights..
+Nad hussain Here here!!
We didn't get a chance to see Ali fight in his prime.
This comment is absurdly stupid. First things first, replace “they” with “their”. But more importantly you mentioned Mosley and De la Hoya, but what you failed to acknowledge is the age and weight class differences when they were in their twenties. De la Hoya was the cash cow of boxing and he was thinking about Floyd he was younger at a much smaller weight class at the time. The same for Mosley. Just think Oscar was the ‘92 Olympic gold medalist. Floyd fought in the ‘96 Olympics. As far as Pacquiao and Floyd fighting in their twenties could of never happened. When Floyd was dominating at 140, Manny was in a much smaller weight class. He wasn’t until Manny went to 147 when people started to ask about the fight happening. It took too long for them to finally fight, but Floyd is older than Manny and still dominated him. Floyd made easy work of Cotto too.
Steward hit it on the head. Hearns never got outboxed by technical fighters. Only had issues with brawlers. Hearns beats Mayweather any way it goes, decision or KO/TKO in my opinion......Styles make fights.
me too :D
Wow, this video is amazing, I actually wondered what an expert like Stewart would have said on Tyson-Ali or even Mayweather-Hearns, and I actually agree with Stewart concerning the outcome of those two fights.
One thing Stewart didn't mention is that Ali had an exceptionally solid chin. I think even if Tyson did land a clean shot, Ali is a guy who can take it.
Top man .much missed .rip manny
His analysis of Tyson vs Ali was on point.
Old Shane Mosley rocked and nearly stopped Floyd, imagine what Hearns would do
Ikr lol
@@abousow8625 and hearns got knocked out by sugar ray
Canelo and manny couldnt touch floyd some bum from the 90s wouldn’t be able to do anything against floyd
@@davepop8192 srl is better than Floyd tho and hearns was just gassed that’s all. There second fight was a controversial draw and 99% of the people said hearns won
@@hamzahussain1933 canelo and manny and welterweight were no where near as good as sugar ray Leonard or Thomas hearns at welterweight
Everything he says is true.
You know, you know, you know.
Would love just to have one training session with manny. Rip manny
legendary trainer
This tells you how great floyd is couldn't nobody beat him in his era so they looking back in past era's
I used to think Floyd might have been able to outbox hearns but the mosley fight changed my mind. Mosley almost knocked out Floyd in the second round with a right hand. If that was a Hearns right hand. He would have went to sleep.
Mayweather would just be way too small for Hearns, and when Tommy landed the right, Floyd wouldn't see it and wouldn't get up.
Steward is right about Tyson acheiving so much for being a small heavyweight.
I hope Floyd Listens to this because this is it plain and simple .
Nobody gives a fuk about 49-0 doesn't mean shit if you ducked all the dangerous fighters, manny says it perfectly, floyd wouldn't even have troubled hearns, 6"2 fast, excellent jab n punched like a mule.. Floyd can go 60-0 it wouldn't mean shit, 20 years from now people will still talk about hearns Duran Leonard n hagler as great fighters but nobody will remember floyd.. History remembers GREAT fighters because they were involved in some GREAT FIGHTS.. Lol which great fight has floyd ever been involved in. Enough said..
all of floyds opponents were the very best of his time!
Lol clueless little kid. Do your research before talking.
Back in those days you couldn’t get away with one shot from the outside then circling and clinching ljke Floyd does. Ref and judges would never give him the ud. Floyd would not beat hearns to the punch outside. If Castillo, de la Hoya and maidana could land hearns would def land!
spot on
Well said sir
Mayweather beat everyone he mentioned. Funny thing is Steward used to say he never considered Mayweather “great” when Mayweather was younger. As Steward started commentate on Mayweather’s fights after Floyd’s retirement, Steward started to give Mayweather his props and called him great. I bet before he died he has a completely different view of Floyd.
Good point. But both Hearns and SRL would have still beaten Floyd.
ali frazier 3 was fought in over 100f weather,Dundee said his shirt was soaking wet @ that was just standing in the corner.Frazier @ ali fought a fight very few fighters could have pulled off,they fought like lightweights.There is no way tyson could have done what those 2 fighters pulled off that night in what most boxing experts consider the greatest heavyweight bout of all time.
The question shouldn't be whether Floyd can beat Hearns but would Floyd fight Hearns. If Floyd was fighting in Hearns era, I doubt he would go above the super featherweight division at 130lbs. Once he goes about that he is facing killer after killer. Hearns and SRL at WW is a long way to go...
And 130 was a good weight for a relatively young Duran, another scary prospect.
Miss the dude.
Mayweather would DEFINATELY get knocked out by Hearns!!!! Others like Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, Terry Norris, Pernell Whitaker, Meldrick Taylor, Julio Caesar, Roberto Duran, Salvador Sanchez, DEFINITELY Julian Jackson, he would wouldn’t last. Fighters PERIOD in this era couldn’t hang with fighters of the 1970’s- early 1990’s fighters!!!! They were far hungrier, better trained, and fought tougher opposition!!!!
Manny called that B-Hop vs Calzaghe fight so wrong. It was the most exciting fight ever 😂.
Hearns would have put Floyd to sleep!
Too Fast, Too Long, Too Strong! And Vicious!
Who did he put to sleep at welter? Cuevas and who else?
Ali would have beat Tyson.
Anyone who says otherwise is just delusional. Ali was such an unpredictable fighter you never knew when he’d come back with a surprising attack
@@Lonelysportofboxing
That and Ali would probably drag Tyson into deep waters.
If one were to look to the dictionary to discover the definition of gentleman, it would simply say Emmanuel Stewart.
In my opinion now, i'm an avid boxing watcher and big time fan, but Thomas "HITMAN" Hearns would definetly beat Mayweather, also back in those days nobody DUCKED any fighters, today they make fighters fight nobody's first so they can have an undefeated record then they will actually have about 4 or 5 times that they will fight other great fighters, but my opinion Floyd Mayweather has beaten alot of great fighters but only fought them when they were on the downside of there career, so i guess he's going to wait until Pacman and others are 40 years of age before he actually fights him, Mayweather is a good boxer no doubt and defensively one of the best, but Leonard,Hagler,Duran,Hearns,Chavez,etc all in their prime would have beat Mayweather, once mayweather is retired if he doesnt fight Pacman and couple of other greats, he will fade and nobody will remember him, we still talk about all the other great fighters not him. I would be willing to drop in weight and fight mayweather and show the world that i would knock him out. where are all the great fighters who arent scared to get in the ring with anyone despite if they win or lose? I refuse to pay for any mayweather fight unless its Manny Pacquiao
1) Pacquiao is 36, Floyd is 38, and the fight is now on so there should be no excuses on May 3.
2) Your point on Floyd only fighting guys on their downside is somewhat true, but most of it wasn't his fault (ealier in his career). For example, he called out Mosley when Mosley was 33 in his prime. He called out Oscar back in 1999 and throughout the early 2000s. He called out guys like Kostya Tyszu, Prince Naseem, Casamayor, etc. These guys didn't want none. If you want to comment on Floyd ducking then do the research and then comment. TH-cam "Floyd calling out fighters", and then comment.
3) When Floyd did fight these guys they were still a threat. Mosley was deemed old but had just KOd Margarito (and no one ever has) and was the #1 Welterweight. Pacquiao even DUCKED this version of Mosley who Floyd went on to fight. More evidence: TH-cam "Mayweather vs Mosley Pacquiao exposed", watch the video from 6:45-8:00. Freddie Roach explains why Pacquiao wants to duck Mosley lol I'm not making this up. Like I said in my other post do the research and then comment. Be knowledgeable and then comment. Floyd has a plethora of flaws and he does shit that pisses me the fuck off, but do not for a second believe everything the media tells you because it's a lie.
4) Floyd fought Oscar at 154, in Floyd first trip to the weight class, agreed to ALL of Oscars terms (bigger gloves, smaller ring, purse, ref, etc), biggest stage of his career at that point and still came out victorious. Floyd fought Miguel Cotto at 154, immediately following Cotto beating Margarito and gaining back lost confidence from the first fight. Floyd handed Hatton his first defeat. Diego Corrales was undefeated, 33-0 27KO, #1 in the division #5 p4p when Floyd faced him and Floyd dismantled him. Canelo Alvarez at 152 lbs defeats every welterweight in the world right now (name one welterweight that can beat Canelo), and Floyd made him look silly. Floyd beat Marquez every rd, and Marquez himself said Floyd would have beaten him at any weight. Many people bring up Castillo and say he beat Floyd, but again it was Floyd first trip to that weight class and in his first trip fought for the title with no catchweight and even rematched a guy he supposedly lost to and dominated the rematch. I can go on and on but first please watch those videos and then reply.
I'm glad he mentioned Cotto because Cotto was amazing and Cotto with Freddie roach would of killed Mayweather and even Pacquiao. Margaritos cheating ass and Cottos braking with his uncle had mess his carrier. However, that Era was insane. Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Hagler a Benitez
Can you tell me why people say that about Steward? I'm not joking or anything, I really want to know because I've heard people say that many times.
people thought dieogo corrales would knockout mayweather too, im sorry mr steward i just dont see mayweather losing. Mayweather is einstein in the ring. And if tyson ever caught up to ali in the ring it would be a wrap for him as well
Tyson by KO
May be Ali would have big problems, but I think he would not be knocked out.
Steward the bible of boxing
why r they being compared? Hearns is a middle/light heavy weight. Floyd is a flyweight.
John bell Hearns was a welterweight he moved up and up .
loyal.
Ray twice broke Tommy down exhausting and disabling him by the end of fights with his defense. His technical skill made it difficult for Tommy to hurt him. In reality, Tommy busted up both Marvin and Iran in the potluck swing-outs that could always give him a chance at winning. But, I duh know, I guess it was Emmanuel's job, as a manager, to try psyche rival fighters into fighting the way he would have liked them to have done.
Ray Had lethal left and right hooks that can hurt LHW thats big difference
Hagler was a middleweight he was listing welterweights
Tyson Is Not A Crusierweight And Physically The Only Advantage Ali Would Have Over Tyson His Height.. As A Matter Of Fact Prime For Prime Tyson Is Heavier ..
He's your cousin.....and??? When was the last time you spoke with him?
Thomas Hearns was easily a top 10 boxer of all time. Maybe the best... the few that beat him did not have the the belts Thomas eventually acquired. Ya he lost to a few guys... like 3 but he overcame and was a tremendous champion long after those guys retired.
I agree with him.
@yungenfant u dont know what ur talking about.. those 3 names are much better than pacquiao and he fought them all. he outboxed sugar ray leonard, he went to war with hagler, and he knocked out duran. hearns had speed and power and he knew how to use it, mayweather would be hurt in that fight this aint shane mosley
+Uncle Bernie Freakin AMEN UNC!
i think hearns would have knocked mayweather out he was so so fast this guy outboxed suger ray twice and hit like a hammer with both hands one of the best jabs in boxing history suger ray said hearns jab was freakish anyway hearns in 6 for me
RIP!
damn you should have kept going
The fabulous 4 ranked on who’s most likely to beat Floyd
1. Tommy Hearns
2. Sugar Ray Leonard
3. Roberto Duran
4. Marvin Hagler
I’d switch Duran and Hagler.
They're not really the same size- even if they both fought at welterweight at some point in their careers.
However, even P4P fight- Hearns would be difficult for Mayweather. But P4P, if SLR and Mayweather were same size....
How can he hurt what his eyes can't see.
+Melissa DOnaldson How can May weather beat what he can't reach?
+Erkhes Batjargal that jab to the body from mayweather would reach him. plus the left hook
Anyone can be knocked out. If it wasn't true, Ali would not have had to block any punch... He blocks because he knows he can get hurt, etc. Some guys can take more, but EVERY fighter has a limit, because we're humans, It's not an opinion. It's a fact. As simple as that.
What is he supposed to say? He trained Hearns so obviously he is going to choose his guy. No surprise there
+mista richmondva YES case in point, but do you REALLY fell this would have been a competitive fight?....HEARNS had a freakish wingspan, his speed was enough but combined with one punch power floyd would have tried his darting in and out routine and would have run right into that jab, and after he ate several of those he would have been stretched by a right hand. HEARNS most dominant power puncher in the welter and jr middle EVER!
Yeah but hearns was way more dangerous than corrales.
MrLosguerreros Hearns says it would have been competitive. Good enough for me.
Prime Ali is the worst type for prime Tyson. The way Ali moved away from punches and his height plus Ali's talk add to that Ali chin and stamina. Tyson would lose 3 out of 3
I agree but how is floyd v Tommy a "potential" math up??
They both fought at light middleweight
I googled it.
Of course Ali would win
Of course Steward knew about boxing
Of course Tyson was just too small
Of course the same reasoning Ali was in better shape than most knock out artists in later rounds is because muscle men tend to use up more oxygen than most
(Foreman in Zaire)
nuff respect to mister Steward
we agree on one thing Pacquiao would have been destroyed by those guys! In fact it makes me laugh when I here these current boxing fans, and pundits talk about his historical greatness. It shows how new to the sport they all are
PacMan might lose to them, but not get destroyed. I base this on how easily he beat Oscar DLH, who did well against Floyd and should have beat him (had he not let Floyd get into his head).
RIP
If Emanuel Steward says it then it is so.
Money May schools him, Pretty boy Floyd will stop him.
your 100 percent right,very sorry will be more respectfull.I do not believe in your thinking that anyone can be knocked out,most can but i think there are a few very few fighters that no matter what you hit them with they will not bend @ I believe ali was one of those fighters.He fought @ beat harder punchers than tyson.
Floyd ended up fighting all those mentioned and beat them badly...Floyd can brawl to and box very well ,once he figures out Hearns its a wrap ..Corrales had size on Floyd too but how did that go
Hearns is the worst matchup for Floyd, Manny is right despite his conflict of interest.
Chico had height, but not size exactly. He was a 130lb, Hearns could never make that weight.
Why do people call Tyson a small heavyweight? Yeah, he was short for a heavyweight, so what? He was almost 6 ft and toned at 220 pounds. That’s a decent-sized heavyweight.
Heck, George Foreman was 220 pounds when he was knocking out top heavyweights left and right in the 1970s.
A 5’11 220 pound heavyweight would probably be stronger, with thicker muscles, than a string bean 6’6 220 pound heavyweight, with Deontay Wilder being the rare exception.
I like Pacquiao and he provided some exciting fights starting in 2001 up until his KO of Hatton. I never thought of him as being an elite or superior fighter, like I have Mayweather. Since Mayweather's destruction of Corales, in perhaps the finest boxing exhibition I have ever seen, I have been sold on his talent as the best fighter in the world. Well, I think at that point he was tied with Roy Jones.
Hearns is a damn cheat code
Money Mayweather 5' 5" vs.Tommy 5' 11" it would been a repeat of Duran/Hearns but 10 times faster.
Hearns is 6'1"....Mayweather 5'8"....
@@khalidnamar8723 One more thing Bro...if Hearns truly stood 6' 1" at 146lb he'd be too weak to throw a punch.
1981 when Hearns fought SRL the weigh-in for Hearns was 145lbs. At 6' 1" he would of been in sever anorexia!
Once again here is Ali stating from his own mouth that he was only 6' 2" at 6:36 minutes. th-cam.com/video/Y3LXsEaaBX4/w-d-xo.html
Now Imagine Ali at 6' 2" weighing 147lbs would he not be close to death?
Most sheepeople like to believe the hype and unbelievable crap. For example most sheepeople still believe Bruce Lee was a professional fighter tho he never fought in competitions. Reality Hurts most but it frees those who want to be free!
Money Mayweather is about 5' 6" max. Pac-Man PacQuiao is 5' 4" max. Sorry to kill your dreams.
@@shockadellick you are delusional dude. You are dangerous in that you think you know s(!#%. I've been IN and AROUND this sport for 40 years. Trust me you don't know s(!*$. Have you seen Diego Corrales? I've met him. He is very tall for his weight.
Hearns Being 6'1 not 6'2 and 147 isn't at all impossible. Please stop. And who brought up Ali?
You are really off your meds.
So Leonard is only 5'7"? Ok...
@@shockadellick wtf are talking about? What kind of shoes did Tyson have on? And when was the last time you spoke with hearns? Look at him next to Barkley who was 6'2". You are really confused and yet you think you are brilliant. Of course.
mike would of killed people at cruiserweight but i do agree he was one fighting super heavyweights
Mayweather is a lightweight like Duran and it would end the same way. He´d have to knock Hearns out and at 147 and 154 Hearns had a solid chin and floyd don´t have the power to hurt Hearns like Leonard had. hearns by wide decision IMO. Tyson´s biggest flaw was his heart, when guys weren´t intimidated by him he´d question himself and if Bonecrusher Smith, Mitch Green goes 12 Ali goes 12 and wins a wide UD. Could end earlier though maybe ali by tko late.
How old am I?? I was there when Tyson tore Spinks and Frazier up. I was there live when he went the full 12 against Mitch "Blood" Green and seen his amazing head movement, footwork, and hand speed. Ali was quicker than Tyson yes, but not by much. And come on Foreman was nothin but a head hunter. He was slow and was a mummy. It can be argued that Tyson his almost as hard as foreman and shavers if not the same. But Tysons Much quicker hand speed and accuracy made his punches more devastating.
Foreman nothing but a head hunter? Dude, the Rumble in the Jungle featured one of the most aggressive body attacks in the history of boxing, by Foreman. It didn’t work in the end, but Foreman was hardly just a head hunter.
Tommy Hearns will take mayweather to the deepest end of the sea and will drown him.
Mentions Benitez but not HAGLER!?
Mayweather beat Hearns? Please step AWAY FROM THE CRACKPIPE, the hitman would have cashed in on "money" no question.

Lol 😂
If Hearns didn't have to be concerned about your punch, you were toast! Still, having a punch only gave that fighter a shaht, because you had to get him before he got you! Floyd had a better punch in his prime than he did later, but he had no way to deliver it on the much longer Hearns nor could he get his jabs off! Tommy would dominate and KO him(if Floyd didn't just cover up to prevent this)!
I figure that AIi busts Tyson up and that he'd be way easier to hit than Frazier. Mike protected his chin with his gloves, left his eyes completely exposed to be hit, and his Rocky Balboa crouch was easier to hit than Frazier's style! AIi's precision accuracy and timing was the best of all time! Tyson also loss a lot of power after the halfway point--if he actually tried to KO you and that did not happen! The reason Frazier could go late in the fight with AIi was that Joe had the stamina to do it, did not cut until very late in a 15 round fight at the very least, and AIi could not punch like Foreman or Bonavena!
Frazier also had KO power from beginning to end--Tyson did not! Tyson also did horrible against opponents that had some kind of boxing ability; they were not like as accurate, fast, or defensive as AIi would be, either! Frazier was a much better AIi opponent than Tyson would be!
