What do u think is the potential for Ronald Hearns?

Question

I watched him on the undercard of Pavlik -Taylor and he impressed me even though he was fighting a totally overmatched opponent. It is eerie how much he looks like his dad in person and he has somewhat his dad's style minus the power. When he measured his opponent with the jab then unloaded his right I felt like I was watching Hearns - Cuevas! I feel he is too small for super middle and he has a large shadow casting over him, his dad ''The Hitman''. Whats your opinion of him and his future?

Answer 1

Ronald Hearns has good potential. I was impressed with his performance last Saturday, but I'm ready to see him step it up a notch.

I also have to wonder, how long can he keep that 6'3" frame of his at junior middleweight?

Answer 2

I think that he appears to have enormous potential based on this early part of his career.  He is a good boxer with decent power though not quite as much as his great father.  He has a good jab behind that long lanky frame of his at 6'3".  What remains to be seen is how he reacts when he gets hit hard or faces a stiff test in the ring from a good opponent.  He appears to be a very talented and confident fighter and I really believe he has a bright future and possibly even a future champ if he is brought along the right way and not rushed into bouts he's not prepared for.

Answer 3

I haven't really followed his career and did not purchase the Pavlik/Taylor PPV. I refuse to anymore. Knowing the Detroit work ethic and the genes involved, I believe with hard work, anything is possible. RE: Chavez Jr. too.

Answer 4

I watched the fight and I agree he looked good, but not great.  I would have to see him against a better opponent to get a good read. He should be paired up to fight JC Jr. because I think it would be a great fight and the winner would have taken that next step towards a title shot.
