6'1 Hearns with power, vs 5' 7 Mayweather with fragile hands?
Floyd could not hurt him, Tommy was beating the equal skilled Sugar Ray till the last round.
Ray was much bigger and powerful than Mayweather, so if Tommy could beat Ray for nearly the entire fight, then he could eventually kill the small Mayweather.
Its pretty much a 135 fighter vs a tall strong 147/154 fighter.

Hearns height and reach would be too much for the smaller Mayweather. Mayweather is an excellent defensive fighter. His ability to slip punches would save him from being knocked out. The result would be similar to when Hearns outboxed the brilliant Wilfred Benitez to win the Jr. Middleweight title. Hearns by unanimous decision.

To mrrtvman - What are you doing? Are you trying to ruin yahoo boxing like the boxing game is being ruined.
You know Mayweather would mix it up with Hearns. Mayweather would get beat down the same way that the police beat down Rodney King.
