Hearns weighed 2 lbs under, I think he would have won otherwise.

Hearns was winning on points when the fight was stopped. He was exhausted in the fourteenth, but he wasn't out. He should have won that fight.

The only way to beat Hearns is to walk through him like Marvin Hagler and Iran Barkley. Otherwise, he stays at a distance where he can hit you and you can hit him. This was Manny Stewart's strategy to destroy Cuevas and Duran.

Didn't matter one bit that the fight was in Tommy's backyard. It didn't matter that he kept that jab out there to obstruct his vision and hold on from time to time. Tommy was 4" taller and Cuevas had no answer to that problem. He couldn't reach Hearns and Hearns could easily reach him.

@MisterNifty Well, Hearns won Leonard 2. He made the opponents scared because of the right, so he could keep using the reach. And that 'flicker' jab is hard to slip and duck. Remember, Hearns' reach is good so an overhand right might not make it close enough.
