- In the glorious 80s, Thomas Hearns' blood-chilling stare struck terror into the hearts of his opponents, and his sniper-like right hand was a weapon of mass destruction. Over the span of a decade, the Hitman scored dozens of headshots, solidifying his status as the first-ever four-division champion. Now is the time to appreciate the clean work of this anomalous knockout artist, who brought his big guns to each and every mission.

Our video about Roberto Duran: th-cam.com/video/3l7_tUXbrVs/w-d-xo.html
and Ray Leonard: th-cam.com/video/kgMFbh8tmrw/w-d-xo.html
In the 80s, a remarkable rivalry unfolded in the world of boxing when four outstanding champions in adjacent weight classes competed to determine the best, engaging in nine bouts among themselves. This period is now referred to as the era of the "Four Kings." One of the champions was Thomas Hearns, featured in the video. Soon, we will release separate videos about the other kings as well.
Sugar Ray knocked all these guy down!
I would also suggest a chronological "battle of kings." Where you take each interaction in turn.
@@Fatdog-Dakind Hagler was better than Sugar Ray
@@Fatdog-Dakindnot Duran. Not Hagler. And Hearns knocked him down twice and detached a retina. SRL = weakest of the four kings.
@@Fatdog-Dakind No he didn't. He never knocked Hagler down, he lost to Duran and only made him quit because Duran was disgusted with the games Ray was playing in the rematch, and he lost the second fight to Tommy, who knocked him down twice. Even Ray admitted he lost the Tommy re-match.
Hearns/Duran/Hagler/Leonard will NEVER be repeated. The absolute golden age of boxing.

Come out the past we did love them guys but this was 30 plus years ago 🤦🏽♂️ guys now days are much stronger
Hell yeah!
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't a show boat. He was always business in the ring. He gave the Motor City something to look forward to every fight.
James Shuler, killed in March, 1986.
He was robbed in a few big fights too.
they didn't call him the hit man for nothing
@@m.scottreeder Yes, such a shame and very soon after his fight with Tommy.

Know what I loved most about these guys? The respect they had 4 each other. Absolutely golden era and solid gold warriors.
thats is why they are legends!
Also I like benitez, the radar
4 different styles too
The overhand right to Durans face.
Oh My Lord.
A collosal punch.
Perhaps pound for pound the hardest punch thrown in boxing history!!
@@carlodonn8983
Yes…it looked like a Tomahawk missile.
It was scary how loud that came through over that crowd noise
The most WTF punch I’ve EVER witnessed, CHILLS!!!!!!!!!
How that didn’t break his jaw and/or cheekbone is a miracle. What a punch
25:35 After the fight HEARNS instructed his team not to mention his broken hand so that HAGLER's success would not be diminished. Oh man, I simply LOVE these two! True warriors and legends. RIP Marvin Hagler.

So was the Hitman! ❤

The GREATEST TIMES IN BOXING HISTORY
Fr. These days a top boxer fighting a fellow top boxer is rare, because they don’t wanna mess with their win/loss record. They’d rather pick fights that they know that they will win.
Legends of the80's💪💯💪💯
I have watched a lot of boxing bouts in my life. No one hits clinical clean shots like Thomas Hearns. In my opinion he is the most skillful boxer of all times.
You forgot Roy Jones Jr?
Tommy was very skilled but most skilled ever? Not many would agree with you but we’re all entitled to our opinion. Skill encompasses everything, including defense. And Tommy had frequent defensive lapses. He is one of the most dangerous fighters that’s ever campaigned between 147 and 160 because of that eraser overhand right coupled with his jab and ridiculous reach. But he wasn’t a great inside fighter, his footwork wasn’t always in order, he wasn’t always defensively responsible, and there was always a question how he would react if you could touch his chin…those things are part of a fighter’s skill level. The problem many had was getting through his jab and right hand in order to take advantage of those known weaknesses.
@@richardcollins2622 Very true. In my opinion his only weakness was that he couldn’t take punches. One good punch and he is out. So yes, if you include defensive skills he may not be the most skillful but in terms of attacking skills, sharp and accurate punching, stance, poise , hand speed etc, he was just unbelievably good. He throws a punch, misses and re-hits without withdrawing the hand. That’s sheer speed. He wasn’t a clumsy round the house puncher or slugger as you would see greats like Sugar Ray Leonard, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and even Floyd Mayweather jnr fight sometimes. He hit straight, sharp, direct, accurate, and hard punches. The only other boxers I could compare with him are Big Daddy Riddick Bowe, Mohammed Ali and Larry Homes. But honestly Hearns edges all of them in punching skills. As u said, it’s only my opinion. I have really watched a lot of boxing fights in my life but I could still be wrong. It’s just an opinion.
The three fights or so Hearns lost, he really wasn’t outboxed. His opponents just got one good punch and he became dazed. They rushed and finished him off. That was his weakness.
If he had GGG's or Hagler's chin, he'd be the best ever. But he'd get hit and his legs would get rubbery. @@richardcollins2622

The 80's era in my opinion is untouchable in so many ways, Music, boxing, cold warm, mobsters, drugs, women, television shows, Movies...etc.....what a decade..
Heck yeah!!
Definitely the best era for me watching boxing like hearns v hagler.. hearns v suger Ray Leonard ... hagler v suger ray leonard and the Duran fights and ali fights before these and of course mike tyson got everyone sitting on the edge of they're seat Definitely best years for me and imo the best era of boxing anyone will ever see because boxing today all the champions and great boxers coming up are all avoiding each other for as long as they can atleast back then they would all fight each other atleast twice best v best 15 rounds nothing will ever beat that
best era
I agree totally. It was a decade with a difference indeed.
Without a doubt! 👍🤣😂
The Motor City Cobra.... The HITMAN ...MR. HEARNS.....fans always got their moneys worth and usually a great finish that was the Golden Age of Boxing...MAN !!
Possibly the greatest era of boxing ever. And that Hearns/Hagler first round stands as the greatest and wildest round of boxing EVER!!!
As I was watching the first round I was thinking it's over for hearns
I could watch Thomas Hearns highlights all day. He is just poetry in motion. He is just a such a beautiful fighter, with his long frame and stabbing jab. Thank you for the video!
The era of these four boxers, to me, was the greatest of all time! The just beat the hell out of everyone and each other! These guys put on some excellent fights!
I and my disabled son that is none verbal,autism mobility problems,trying to get him to sit down next to us is a no no.until the evening times I put boxing videos on,at this time we have a connection,he sits next to me as excited as I was years ago ,these fighter’s still excite me.the era of the 4 kings.all 4 deserve the title of the G.O.A.T
they really did.but we can still watch .and enjoy.👍👍
You are so right. Just Hitman's fight with Sugar alone was a huge showcase of grit, twitch and power. I went "jesus" so many times.
Yes, this was the golden age of boxing. Unlikely we will see this level ever again. Talents, money and interest have moved onto MMA
Herns, Leonard, Hagler, Durant.
4kings
One of the most exciting fighters ever!!! I cant remember one boring fight of The Hitman. Legend
The body work Tommy employed was devastating. Sometimes overlooked. What a GREAT era of boxing!
Rr
Dc.
The left hook to the body defied physics, it was like a whip
He had explosive punching power. If Deontay Wilder learnt to box properly from a young age he could have been a heavyweight version of Hearns. Scary thought.
@Night-op7zf Man, if Wilder had Tommy's punching technique it would have been scary, if he'd have used his length and height the way Tommy did and he had a good teacher like Steward training him since he was young he could have been the hardest puncher ever.
The Hearns right hand is still the most precise right hand of boxing. Pinpoint precision.
Tommy Hearn is my favorite fighter of all time. What an awesome documentary. Thank you for putting this together.
He was built for Boxing, long, lean and wicked quick.
And mine 👍.
@@richardselby1711 Have I spotted a fellow New Englander?
And mine too an absolute gem and a maniac legend so humble so likable so brilliant to watch he was ALWAYS SMILING NO MATTER WHAT.❤❤❤
@johninnes881 I believe you and I loved Tommy Hearns for the same reason. He never, from what I remember, trash talked his opponent. Such a likable guy, so humble of a soul. For him to attend James Shulers funeral and handing the belt to his mother speaks volumes. I didn't know anything about that until watching this documentary. It just makes me love this fighter even more.
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'd throw more as a counter as you were coming in. He definitely had me seeing some stars. What a talent.
😎
Sure u did buddy
No I'm just making it up clown. I trained at the Hoover Street Gym and Broadway gym in South Central and the word came out that Hearns was looking for work. Even at my age now I'd drop you faster than wet shit. Panty waste. @@ericpadilla2454
@ericpadilla2454 Let him have his moment bro😭😭
Always get one dreamer in the comments 😂😂
That was the golden age of boxing for me. Marvelous, Sugar Ray, The Hit Man, Durant, Barkley and many others. So much talent and so many rivalries
Todays boxers would not stand a chance against these fighters
U got tht right
100% correct
Bang on!
Fact..except tyson lol
Hearns’ jab is criminally underrated. Probably because that straight right was so vicious.
these were the best years of boxing 80s-90s
I'd say 70s through 90s.
i would agree with you@@siegfriedo
@@ginahardee4891I agree aswell
Holy crap boxing has to be the hardest way to make a living the power from one of those punches would detach my head from my body.
This has to be one of the best boxing video since Mike Tyson
My favorite and I’m 30 years old , I watched all these old classics on TH-cam. Hearns just took me. 💯
Same .. I'm 40 and I been watching these old school boxing for years ... Love it 👊
Hearns took you? Whoaaaaa PAUSE LIKE SHIT MY Boy!!!! lol how you let him TAKE YOU???? You ain’t atleast fight for your manhood 😂
@@Casteeyo...sugar ray=goat
I watched these guys as a kid, but I know what you mean as I watched fighters before that time, before I started watching boxing in real-time and was super impressed. Hearns was a great fighter with a real aura about him. His right hand power was such a big talking point that's it was usually glossed over the other tools which he had in his locker - movement, a great left hook, jab, hand speed, and a massive heart. Never quite seen a fighter with power who throws such fast, sharp shots with perfect form, guy was a machine and always great to watch. Had a brilliant career but if he'd had a different mentality he probably has an easier time by just using his boxing skills, but he was a legitimate Hitman who took no prisoners and sometimes ended up going out on his shield. The KO of Duran, watching it live on TV I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
@@johnniea4684 SUGAR RAY WAS THE GOAT,HAGLER KOED HEARNS RAY BEAT THEM BOTH ,HEARNS AND RAYS 2ND FIGHT SUGAR WAS RING RUSTY,SO RAY SNEAKED IT
I was born in 1970. Tommy was my favorite fighter growing up. All these fights used to be free. Saturday afternoon " Wide World of Sports". Then on HBO. God I miss those days. Boxing was incredible back then!!
That weight class in the 80’s was legendary.
Yeah, they were also free, live on TV in the UK too. That's when boxing was at its height. Pay-per-view ruined boxing IMO.
You make a great point. They were free on tv so kids could watch with their families. Learning about great boxing, those people were respected. Everyone knew the fight was on, we’d all watch. Great times.
All kinds of great sports every Sunday on The Wide World of Sports. Damn I miss the old days.
so true! these guys deserve much more love than theyve gotten
Thomas Hearns was one of the most dangerous fighters I've ever seen in boxing... a true Legend in the best era of boxing no question.
These guys were true warriors,& gave you everything you came to see,& also RESPECTED their Opponents. R.I.P Champ
Hitman hearns was the first to win world titles at 5 different weight not 4,one of the true all time greats.
Yeah I actually asked about that before reading this. First one with 4 different weight classes titles was Duran
Duran didn't do that until 89 against Barkley, Hearn did it In 87... So Hearn was definitely the first for both 4 belts and 5 belts.
@@cr4zyj4m1e87 sugar Ray leonard also became a 5weight w, champ not to long after the hitman so he done before Roberto Duran aswell if I'm correct.
@@brimcilroy9002 Yeah, it was a bit of a con job, though. He won two belts from Donny Lalonde fighting at super middleweight, but both that belt and the light heavyweight belt were on the line. So he effectively won a light heavyweight belt without ever fighting at light heavyweight.
We were blessed
My dad was a big Sugar Ray Leonard fan when I was a kid but also talked up Tommy, Duran, & Hagler who were all great champs! Definitely a great time for boxing if not the best! Thank you for this for taking us back! 🤙🏾🥊
Agree with that
Hit Man was a beast inside the square ring! And You did an incredible job memorializing
Thomas Hearns dominant career.
Thanks!!!😊😊😊
"Having amassed 20 victories, 26 of them by KO ...".
Now THAT`S a record that will never be broken!
You've got THAT right. It STRETCHES the numbers!!! That's for sure.
Marvin Hagler said that if Tommy didn't have a glass jaw he would have been the best out of all of us. That's a tribute. Great video of the Detroit Hit man.
Crazy thing is that he didn't have a glass jaw, it just wasn't made out of titanium like Sugar Ray's or Haglers.
@@TechieTardvery true 😂
There seemed to be a spot on Tommy. Iran Barkley hit it too. Same reaction as when Hagler hit him.
That stare would knock out opponents souls before physically knocking them out
Tommy Hearns unparalleled proficiency ranks among the greatest within all classes.
This was a great era to be alive in...for those who missed it...I wish I could give you the feeling. Straight up.
This kind of documentary is priceless.
Tommy Hearns is an absolute legend. Great video on the Hitman. 👊
agreed.
Too bad he lost to Tyson
Tommy the hitman hearns. What an unbelievable fighter who ducked nobody, he took on the world and won the hearts of the planet. Love ye tommy ❤
The best boxing era, when world champions fought world champions, not like today's boxers who pick and choose!
Tommy was an incredible fighter, he had brilliant boxing skills, that were often overshadowed by his devastating right hand.
Total respect to a legend that has stood the test of time.
I salute you.
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏✊✊✊
ABSOLUTE LEGEND. My all time favorite fighter.
Big deal
The hitman had an ability to hit opponents with punches they didnt seen coming. Not a power puncher, a technician. A legend of boxing in the pinnacle of the sport.
As great as the Hearns was in the ring, he seems a better human being. Mad respect Hitman. Now one of my all time favorites
The Fact they got to fighting in the 1st round in those days is priceless. 😊
I met both Marvin and Duran both greats gave me their time and talked about fights ..TRUE greats and humble .
lucky guy .iam jealous.
@@combatshox i was walking past durans house in Panamá it's bit of a tourist atraction and there he was fixing his motor bike .i speak spanish i said hola don Roberto,he did not turn round then i told him i'm from Ireland and that Ive Say all his fights de Jesús ,moore ,cuevas ect ,he turned round , he talked to me for 40 minutos about his trip to Ireland ,i got photos too ...When i met Marvin it was a at a dinner where he would talk and ask questions ,most people in audience where drunk asking questions about Tyson. ,i asked him was it a slip against Roldán ..he answered later on he invited me to his table ..great memories .
@@jota55581 Good moments. Yeah, that knockdown Hagler suffered against Roldan was a joke. He was leaning in and Roldan hit him with a swinging right hand round the back of the head, which caused him to fall over. I couldn't believe the ref started counting. Hagler looked disgusted. Smashed the game Roldan for the rest of the fight.
@@johnniea4684 hey brother hope your well ,thats whats Hagler said ,he said the the shot round back of Hed caused his back leg to slip .
@@jota55581 Yeah, that's right, I remember that now. Good guy Hagler. Always gave off this mean mofo image in the ring but came off differently in real life.
I watched these fights as a kid... man oh man... this was beautifully narrated... 🍻
The 2nd Hearns/Leonard fight was by the best fight in the history of boxing. Simply amazing.
My favorite boxer ever.
Those jabs that started from below to land on his opponent's face, changing a thousand angles...
Style and power!! For me, no one like him.
There will NEVER BE another like Tommy "The Hitman, The Motor City Cobra" Hearns. Nuff Sed!!! ✨️🥊🥊✨️Best to ever do it with his length, height, size, power, grace, heart
That right hand on Duran is still one of the greatest punches of all time. It was so perfect and so hard that Duran’s head snapped so fast that you almost couldn’t see it. Devastating
Even in slow motion it was fast as hell
Awesome post. Hearns was a Complete Boxer. Many questioned his punching power. Ask those who took a beating by him. One of the Greats,absolutely.
What an era for boxers. What a joy to watch the passion and skills.
Hitman Hearns is an all time great
But he lost against Hagler and found his Master in Marvellous.

I became a pro boxing fan in 1980 when joining the military at 18, in 2010 I never imagined I’d shake hands with Thomas and Roberto Duran whilst they were touring the UK, it was a great day and have a photo of the event.
I will see
If you are getting excited watching this today, imagine what it was when people watched it live back in the day.
Nice job on the narration! I watched the Hagler Hearns fight on closed circuit at Sportsman’s Park in Cicero, IL. GREATEST FIGHT IVE EVER SEEN!!
Thanks for this video. It was great to see the real 4 kings of boxing. Not the garbage of today's boxing.
And yet he's like the nicest dude
Two great nicknames for Hearns: Thomas "Hitman" Hearns and the "Motor City Cobra." Both quite fitting, given his ability to strike a lethal blow.
I have now seen all 4 documentaries. My all time boxer any weight class has been Hagler for the last 40+years. Duran is my 2nd fave followed by Larry Holmes( heavyweight). Thanks for bringing back my youth. Many many Fiday and Saturday nights spent watching these guys with my stepdad(RIP). Using his amatuer boxing experience to explain what I was seeing. Learning boxing lessons from the greatest of that era was a true joy. I would also recomend the documentaries on Holmes, Alexis Arguello, Riddick Bowe, and Evander Holyfield. Looking forward to more of the Golden Age of Professional Boxing.
Best time in boxing ever. I grew up watching these great boxers. Now boxing is barely mentioned by anyone anymore as a big thing.
All sports have been diminished these days. Corruption has officially taken front and center in football baseball basketball boxing even those gritty MMA guys are taking dives. Its over, literally. Maybe time to get into little league sports lol
@@gusgatzonis9607sports as a whole def went downhill and it’s sad. The money ruined it all. Especially with football, baseball and basketball. They literally changed the rules to allow more offense and it truly changes the integrity of the game. It’s sad.
Boxing is still very popular over in England. Having English heavyweight champions helps.
I see Hearns about 2 times a month ...just saw him the other day.. He frequents a restaurant that I do as well... its really cool to see him...hes very cordial.. After seeing this vid..next time Ill take a pic with him
Thomas The Hitman Hearns. One of Detroit's greatest. Living Legend!
Very well done video. THANK YOU!!! Wish Boxing was still the way that these guys fought. They are the dinosaurs of Boxing and the best of the field!!!
Same weight as Mayweather, Canelo.... They are Super Lucky they never had to meet Hearns, Hagler, Chavez, Duran, Sugar ray..... Their career would be over before it began

@@chigorziaihediwa71 Floyd is nothing compared to these guys

Absolutely Amazing. My favorite was the one on Cuevas in that WBA title bout. That was a thing of beauty. It looked a harpoon.
WHACK!!!!
Hearns was screwed by the judges in his 2nd fight with Ray. Hearn’s was a warrior, a true legend!
every sport has improved over the years boxing hasn’t this video proves it these guys were amazing and exciting
Tommy has always been my favorite fighter, watched him train here in Phoenix, he was one of the best fighters of all time.
I’ll never forget the drama of Hearns vs SRL 1981. It was one of the greatest fights of all time. But for me it was the drama of the SRL loss to Duran in 1980 and his subsequent comeback to avenge the defeat just before the Hearns fight that signalled the start of a golden age in Welter to Middleweight boxing and the fantastic 4 of the 1980s- Hearns, SRL, Duran and Hagler. What a time, I feel so privileged to have enjoyed that for free on U.K. TV throughout the 1980s.
Yup, nuts to think now that these fights were on free TV in the good old UK.
@@johnniea4684 We didn’t know it at the time but we were spoiled rotten even though in the U.K. we only had 3 TV channels for folks to play with. It was the quality of TV that counts though, and I still believe we got better quality TV across many genres in the 70s and 80s than the ‘penny a dozen’ drivel we get now across a 100 channels that charge subscription. Even many of those new channels show golden oldies from that because they can’t make better programs than they did then. Now we we’ve got the crooked ppv merchants scamming folks left right and centre just to watch a domestic tear up at Bethnall Green between 2 local has beens 😂

@@mikea5205Add to that the power in both hands
I met Tommy Hearns in 2006 at Comerica Park. Really personable guy. I told him that I thought his right against Duran is the hardest I've ever seen someone get hit. He smiles at me and said "I barely remember, but I'm sure I've hit people harder than that!" Coolest interaction I've ever had with a "famous person". It's almost as if he doesn't really think he's famous or something.
This guy is scary, he is a freak of nature.
But a heart of gold. That moment he beat his opponent and showed up to his funeral a week later giving his mother the belt was solid. What a wholesome guy.
But he possessed such great sportsmanship.

Wonderful boxing anthology. A great era that, probably, will never be repeated. I hope I'm wrong. Greetings from Cartagena de Indias, Colombia!
Great tribute Hearns and the other 3 kings. We will never see 4 rivals like that again fighting in the same era.

This documentry is by far one of the best, that I have ever seen...The narrator absolutely killed it ..His way of words and his way of documenting the Hitman's boxing career is absolutely genious...The brilliancy of his vocabulary and his flow of timely, well executed description of Hearns play by play actions in and out of the ring just amazed me and kept me attentive throughout the entire segment.. well done narrator...In my opinion...this narrator is the best that I have ever heard...This is the best sports documentary that I have seen...All because of the way this narrator made it...
Excellent documentary, well done and thank you.
Loved watching Hearns back in the day. Not only power but precision that man could throw leather with the best of them.
I was a big fan of Tommy Hearns always turned up to fight win or lose. I believe p4p Tommy Hearns is the greatest puncher in boxing history. His fights against the greats like Ray Leonard Marvellous Marvin Hagler Wilfred Benitez Roberto Duran were fights that marked one of the greatest era's in boxing. Tommy Hearns is a living LEGEND
Such a deserved nickname. A real "hitman." Great boxer, great man.
