How much credit do you give Hearns for the Duran win?

It was a very good win for Hearns. Duran was coming off a close decision loss to Hagler and a title win over Davey Moore in the prior year.

He wasn't in his best shape for the Hearns fight, but he wasn't shot physically.
No other fighter near Duran's weight could have stepped in and demolished him the way Hearns did that night. It showcased just how remarkably talented Hears was and how devastating he could be

I have commented on this thread before but just finished watching a video feature clips of hagler, duran leonard and hearns. Watching hearns go thru duran was amazing and watching the welter fight hearns/leonard and remembering gil clancy commenting that tommy came in to light makes me wonder if he was weaken by the weight because he looks so much stronger at 154.
