@sapper6620 totally agree sapper ,i think he won six titles at different weights from welter to cruiser an astonishing feat that will probably never be equalled,and remember every time he moved up a weight the punches stung a little more a total and utter legend
Tommy had such reach with those long arms. You'd have to be outside the ring to be out of his range. Everything he throws looks like it hurts. When he goes to the body that shit looks like a Rocky movie. Dude was a fucking MONSTER!
I think mayweather would have held his own but manny in this era would have got destroyed well wit out the steroids of course lol u mean to tell me that manny at 5 6 naturally 110 can hit harder then heard who's 6'2 147 154 pounds yeah ok maybe all of yall who believe that shit is delusional motha fuckas lol
Something that is often underplayed about Tommy was the ridiculous speed and cartoonish angles that his punches came from, the man was an absolute force of nature when he was in his prime!
greatest fighter ever.. period.. in my humble opiniomn... but.. dont try to d=change my mind.... tommy.. was like the greatest poet whoever lived.. they are 1 an thew same. alexander pushkin.. whether his 30 word poems.. whick is 1 round.. or his 2000 page poems. 12 rounds.. lol.. have asharp mind for that though
Tommy Hearns a welter a 6 ft. 1....Wtf...Love watchin him. That shot to the face of Duran is the kind that lawmakers use as an argument for banning full contact sports!
2:22 That is literally the hardest punch I've seen landed by any middleweight in boxing or mma. That man's head exploded like a piece of popcorn. Damn Hearns was a BEAST!
In the end, just a simple African American named Iran Barkley kicked Hearn's ass. When he went down and his wide eyes started seeing that room spinning around and all those little flying "niggah" angels singing like tweety birds, I laughed at his punked ghetto ass.
@MisterNifty Considering that Hearns was a natural welterweight , losing to Barkley doesn't take away from his legacy. Hearns went up and knocked out cruiserweights.
@jperez9805 Hearns was a natural welterweight? The way I see it, Iran Barkley was a poor man's version of a larger Roberto Duran. It was sweet revenge against as Hearns was nothing more than a slick, one armed boxer who got lucky against the greatest lightweight ever, a two fisted fighter namedRoberto Duran.
@MisterNifty Yes he was a natural welterweight. Hey, styles make fights. Barkley had his number. Just like Duran had Barkley's number but yet got vaporized by Hearns. Not knocking Duran, he's my idol and HIS loss to Hearns doesn't take away from his own legacy. Greatest lightweight, indeed as well as one of the greatest fighters of all time. But I have to be objective, I think Hearns, along with Duran and Leonard would have cleaned up on today's welterweights.
@jperez9805 There is a saying in the MMA and if there isn't there should be, that if a fighter isn't getting his ass knocked out, he is pretending to be one as a boxer. If getting knocked out means a fighter was great, Muhammed Ali wasn't a great fighter.
But, thinking about it, Duran could have handled things better psychologically if he had been knocked out later in the fight. As it was so short, he might not remember anything about it. If that was the case, he didn't learn anything.
@jperez9805 i agree. with you. i try to explain that to heads. even as i go.. that cuz he beat him an he beat him.. yeah he could beat him. but sum heads got that kryptonite, an fight a style that that particular fighter, doesnt quite like so much.. its some good fights 2 nite my man.. heavyweight title. an some nice mma for the masses if u will.. get bak

@RJD185 . k tough q for you... no favortism. please.. ur humble opinio.. lets say both in their prime. on a night where each felt they were going to take this dudes head off. howlong ever it took.... sit back catch u a small buzz.. then to top it off 1 more thing. u had to bet all you had. wrong you are broke. win. and you were rich...... bernard hopkins. vs tommy hearns... detailed answer... and tankyou for ur honest answer.. press reply.. and agin ur ansewr will hold alot of weight
@RJD185 Lets also remember that hagler beat hearns is a battle and hearns definately beat ray leonard in their second fight, and guys like carlos monzon are always forgotten in these discussions shake my head
@serekithegreat .. my favorite. ever. to. but i just put a heard question to the man above. id take ur response to.. but no favrtism.. just if u had to bet all you had. and they were fighting tmr night. ud be broke or rich. and you had to pick... both in thier prime. feelingunbeatable........ hearns vs bernard hopkins... sit back catch u a small buzz. and tell me ur very honest answer... and i know tommy could take him out in 1..... but. if you had to bet an. it was tmr night. both. vowing
it dont matter, some say tom had aweak chin, even on his losses, which were all flukes!!!!!!!!!!! he got up an was ready every time never out cold jake. more amatter of wind on that day, his best fight ever which there were 30 ovem, creme de le creme.. see vs duran, no one within 20 pounds gets with hearns on that day jake
@voodoo9606 no matter waht you think the hitman lost 2 of his most famous fights against leonard and hagler ! he was a warrior through and through but just never had enough to beat those 2 all time legends !! warrior indeed
@redryan5048 was it when they were way past there prime and at the fage end of there career and was where tommy was hanging on like a hooker round tiger woods hotel room ! the real battle was in 1981 when hearns was unbeaten in 32 fights with 30 knockouts and was considered unbeatable ! that was the real leonard hearns fight !!!
@redryan5048 was it when they were way past there prime and at the fag end of there careers and where tommy was hanging on like a hooker round tiger woods hotel room ! the real battle was in 1981 when hearns was unbeaten in 32 fights with 30 knockouts and was considered unbeatable ! that was the real leonard hearns fight !!!
He kicked Ray's butt in their second fight, did you not see that? It was called a draw, but come on, he put Ray on his ass twice. He easily won that fight. Hagler, he had moved up in weight and fought Hagler when Marvin was at this very best. He's the only man I ever saw flatten out Duran. Hagler couldn't do that, neither could Ray.
I don't think Thomas ever got the real credit he deserved. Many of these guys today are so worried about staying pretty, they won't fight the best. I think Mayweather pisses his pants when he thinks about Manny....Hearnes wasn't like that. He fought the best that there was and never ducked anyone.
Stood toe to toe with Hagler, kicked Ray's butt the second time, knocked out Duran...you can't beat that.
@longtalltexan63 i am taking nothing away from thomas hearns in fact he is deffo one of the greatest but the facts are the real big fights tommy lost and got kayoed ! he was never quite a leonard or a hagler because he lacked the chin of hagler and the brain of leonard ! hey if you wanna think that the second hearns leonard fight was a showcase of both there primes then thats up to you ! hearns just edged the 2nd fight but they were both way past there primes ! the 1st fight was the real test !
I don't think Thomas was the greatest or anything, but I so greatly admire how he didn't duck anyone like the wussy Mayweather is doing Manny. He fought the best that they could put in front of him and if he went down, he went down swinging. Not to mention he is a very nice man.
@longtalltexan63 i agree totally with you on that a true warrior to the soles of his boxing shoes ! i come from your era and in fact i detest mayweather with a pasion ! he has no class what so ever! you know what they say the apple does not fall very far from the tree in regards to mayweather upbringing ! it would not bother me if i ever saw him box again! in fact i think he needs a good beating from somebody !! but he is a product of the society we live in now mate !! very sad but true !!
@sweetassugar69 Dont forget hearns stepped up in weight it was a bit to far for him he gave a good go tho and he was a legend in his own weight i agree with you's about mayweather he's boring and he's a coward manny is only guy in this time who tries entertain nowadays modern great
@sdsaucysd good vid! And I do agree with you about the body shots. Everyone knows about Tommy's left jab and right to the head, but he did so much damage during his career with brutal hooks to the body. Shuler felt the pain! And it was the body shots that began his end. Shuler was strong and dangerous, but Tommy used that great bodywork to weaken him and then went in for the kill.
hearns was so fucking pretty, thank you to whoever put this song to the hit man. dman i wish i could have been in timmys lockerroom before even as a fly on the wall watchin that dude warming up an pacing around, breland the next hearns, shit. tommy the only icon- hero ive ever had. im a 41 year old white dude an as a youngster all my walls from ring mag were cut out an pasted covered the walls, with my 10oz gloves freinds had to go a few minutes an id emulate low left shootin that right an l
