      They are probably both afraid to admit that there was a bit of foul play in boxing. They probably would not be happy to wake up and realized who handed them all that money. Even Ali never really properly addressed that issue on camera. It started to stink at a certain point and now it has become full blown.

  • @johntechwriter
    @johntechwriter 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    In this gangly, awkward man, Tommy Hearns, who looked more like a basketball player than a fighter, many hardened boxing fans were moved by his belief in himself against all odds and expressed more, well, love for this fighter than they did toward most of the ones who beat him. It is a tribute to Hearns's greatness that over his long and successful career he was so single-minded about beating the best of the best, he combined his iron will with a brutal training regimen and as a result reigned supreme in six weight divisions. And this at a time when some of the 20th century's best fighters were in their prime.
    How great was Tommy Hearns? Probably no other fighter of his generation could have: (1) knocked out Roberto Duran in two rounds; (2) boxed Sugar Ray Leonard to a draw; and (3) gone toe to toe with Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Any one of those encounters would have made him memorable; all three made him legendary.
    But what impresses me most about Tommy Hearns was how he overcame his animosity towards Leonard (due to Ray's unheard-of purses, good looks and cheerful manner, and his being praised as the better of the two.

    At this point in my life at 58. I don't care who won any of those 70s and 80s welterweight and middleweight fights. When it becomes a matter of pride over who won, it is no longer a sport. If they both just realized how amazing they boxed and what incredible skills they had and the absolute Joy they gave, they would trade in their belts for a better prize in heaven any day of the week. Either one could have won on any given day. Boxing as in all sports is a bit of hype, a bit of comedy and a lot of love. There could always be more. We can all have our favorites, but God has none.

As for Roy, he's the little brother that stepping in between two older brothers, before it get out of hand. I admire and respect Roy for doing so.

    I was a Sugar ray Leonard fan and I guess that's what made me to that Thonas Hearns to lose in his other fights against Hagler, Duran etc. But I knew that the Detroit hitman could dish out punishment. But over the years I've grown to admire and respect the man. Thomas Hearns, Sugar ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Duran ruled the welterweight/ middleweight divisions in the 80's. We were blessed to have watched them live in our life times. May God continue to bless them and give eternal rest to the Marvelous one.
