My thoughts? He's awesome. Thats all I got to say on him. The embodiment of everything a perfect fighter must have. Save for a chin, heh. But I don't think his chin was as bad as many say-Barkley hit hard and hit him with a damn hard shot. Against Marvelous Marvin he was defenseless as he broke his right hand and just got pummeled down, took quite a lot of leather before going down. Otherwise, when he was in his mode, he was the ultimate destroyer machine. :boxing: Love you Tommy! Bless you.

Oh to have Hearns in the 154 mix today, but he had his place in the sun of a epic period of boxing, so no regrets there, we were as blessed to bear witness.
