LondonRingRules Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? --- Not sure a commission exists who would sanction this. Even today I figure Tommy could walk him down if need be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robprosser Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? This might go all the way....to the end of the first round. Hearns would destroy him. He was a monster at welterweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APW Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? Hearns was a totally fearless fighter. Kill or be killed. Accomplished boxer, powerful puncher, first 17 by KO (and totally different to his amateur record). The performances against Cuevas, Baez and Leonard considering by todays standards he was winning after 12 rounds against Leonard over the scheduled 15. Then the destruction of Duran at Super Welter, and the blistering attempt to wrestle the 160 title from Hagler and moral revenge over Leonard. Never mind further accomplishments. Khan wouldn't have lasted longer than a round or two if he engaged with Hearns, maybe 3 or 4 if he really did box well on the back foot, engaging minimally and hoping for rare success and sneaking points. But even the best Khan with great handspeed would still have had to open up occasionally and with that defence and chin, he wouldn't have stood a chance. No comparison for me. And it says something that Khan's career is more focussed on money-spinning fantasy fights, media presence, public appearances and charity events (fair enough) than proving something in the ring. There were Brook and Garcia fights mooted for whatever reasons, and it seems Khan knows he mays well get paid handsomely to be knocked out on Mexican holidays in conveniently mismatched catchweight bouts rather than show real hunger and desire to regain past glories.

Bickle85 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? Hearns by devastating knockout. Khan might look good for a few rounds because of his speed, but somewhere down the way Hearns stops him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelfistsmith Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? this is a joke fight first i never knew Khan had a prime when was it and second Hearns would just have to touch him and the fight would be over in the first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? Hearns, because he had the power. Both have/had weak chins but Hearns is the more likely to win by ko, no doubt. I think Hearns would stop Khan in the 6th round. First three rounds would be close, then Hitman would start to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? first i never knew Khan had a prime when was it I would say probably the couple of years between the Prescott disaster and the Peterson disaster. He beat a shot Barrera, Malignaggi and Judah, but did have the Maidana fight plus Devon Alexander, Andriy Kotelnik... On the other hand, after he lost to Garcia he had Devon Alexander, Luis Collazo and Chris Algieri, which is impressive for a guy who was getting dropped by Willie Limond at lightweight.

gavpowell Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? :lmao: Um...dead? Lol. It's an extremely long setup for the ultimate prank. I'm alarmed that anyone outside the UK knows who he is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? For me there are boxers of two different categories, the only thing they look like is the weak chin. Hearns has been a great champion, defeated Roberto Duran, Wilfred Benitez and other great boxers, has been world champion in five different weight class, a leggend. Khan is a very good boxer but I think that they are in two different categories. In a fantasy match I think Hearns wins by ko in two rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxeador Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Re: Amir Khan vs Thomas Hearns - Who takes it? Please men, Hearns would have killed Khan in a welterweight fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
