  Hearns/Duran/Hagler/Leonard will NEVER be repeated. The absolute golden age of boxing.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwMsec3wvvY&amp;t=1535">25:35</a> After the fight HEARNS instructed his team not to mention his broken hand so that HAGLER&apos;s success would not be diminished. Oh man, I simply LOVE these two! True warriors and legends. RIP Marvin Hagler.

  Tommy Hearns is my favorite boxer of all time. I had the honor of meeting him when he came to the Middle East to visit the troops. He was my favorite boxer 9-10yrs prior to meeting him, so it was a huge deal for me. I could tell he was one helluva dude just from meeting him and hearing him speak in those short 30 minutes. The man commands respect through deeds, not words.

  The 80&apos;s era in my opinion is untouchable in so many ways, &nbsp; Music, boxing, cold warm, mobsters, drugs, women, television shows, Movies...etc.....what a decade..

  Possibly the greatest era of boxing ever. And that Hearns/Hagler first round stands as the greatest and wildest round of boxing EVER!!!

  The hitman had abnormally long arms and incredible speed, stamina and power. The amount of punches he would throw every round was a treat to watch.

  Tommy was a class act. His opponent died in a motorcycle accident, and he gave the title belt to his mother. I grew up near Detroit, so I would always be rooting for him. He wasn&apos;t a show boat. He was always business in the ring. He gave the Motor City something to look forward to every fight.

  I sparred Tommy when he was on the tail end of his career at the VIP gym in Venice, Ca. Those long arms, jab, and right hand were lethal. He also had a deceptive left hook that he&apos;d throw more as a counter as you were coming in. He definitely had me seeing some stars. What a talent.
